Off topic, but the "serverless" moniker needs to die. I propose "adminless" as in "server I don't have to admin, configure, or patch" as being much more descrip

  Well, it's not adminless either, as AWS have lots of them keeping the hosts alive and running. But if you can ignore that, you can probably also ignore the fact that your code runs on a server.

  Eh, if I'm deploying a cloud function, the server truly doesn't exist for me. It's more like a Web Worker running in a privileged environment. I'm ok with the name.

    No, it's really a server running your function. You just (are told you) don't have to worry about the server or what it's actually doing.

      But that works on the VPS level too. We're just talking about higher levels of abstraction on top of hardware. Which one stops being a "server"? I'd argue that once you lose the OS, it's no longer a "server".
