With AWS API gateway + lambda + dynamodb, I maintain exactly zero servers. Zero physical servers. Zero server OSes. Zero sysadmin.
It's perfectly reasonable IMO for that to be called "serverless".
- partycoder 10y agoWith my supermarket, each time I buy a chicken I maintain zero farms. Zero physical farms. Zero farmers. It's perfectly reasonable IMO for that to be called "farmless chickens".
- mypalmike 10y agoIt's just a term. Don't worry about it.
- partycoder 10y agoDon't worry about roman numbers! It's just a representation. Don't worry about them. Just keep doing your math in roman numbers. It's fine. It bothers me that some people don't like my roman numbers. They work! Look!! I + I = II MMMCMXCIX - CXXIII = MMMDCCCLXXVI There's absolutely no way of making this better through representation! Anyone who says otherwise is a bike shedder! In fact, also don't worry about words either. Instead of serverless, let's call them catgiraffetablechaircthulhu. It doesn't matter!

- partycoder 10y agoI have over 1000 HN karma, I have some karma to spare.
- partycoder 10y agoWith my car dealer, I maintain exactly zero factories. Zero physical factories. Zero factory workers. It's perfectly reasonable IMO for that to be called "factory-less car".
- ec109685 10y agoIf originally you had to precure time at a factory to produce your car and now you can go to a dealer and buy a car, I would call that new way factory-less — the factory has been taken out of your personal car buying equation.
- partycoder 10y agoSo I am not paying for the factory infrastructure, workers, etc. when I buy my car? wow! that's great. We've came a long way with these factory-less cars!
- res0nat0r 10y agoWhy is everyone here so upset about the word "serverless"? It's exactly what it says: You aren't responsible for maintaining any OS or server. That's it.
- Can_Not 10y agoWe are upset because we're being told that it is serverless, then there are clearly servers anyways.
- res0nat0r 10y agoNo need to dig into the weeds or wax poetic on the term, people call it serverless because you, the user, don't have to manage any servers personally when you use the "serverless" application. It sounds like the dislike comes from folks here who just want to be contrary is all.
