I think he meant you can easily find $5 "unlimited" php web hosts. So for all intents and purposes it's serverless as in you can use it on a shared web host, where you do not have to manage the server because the hosting company does it. Not that it's literally serverless. Even lambda uses servers obviously. They just abstract it away which is what he meant. Clearly all cloud offerings are backed by servers, it's just abstracted away to varying degrees
- cutler 9y agoFor $5 a month you can get a Linode VPS with 1GM RAM. After the one-off learning curve of Docker you can image these servers and get much more for your money than what any shared hosting provider has to offer. Better still, you're not tied to PHP either.
- Can_Not 9y agoYou're missing the point. The shared PHP host can be $5-$20 per year and handle bursts in excess of 1GB (assuming you're not grossly oversold, which is also common in VPSs).
