It is what it is - and I put a paragraph at the start of the blog for folks who are still confused. It explains that Serverless is a pattern and not a literal term. I even wrote a blog post about it - we've done such a poor job in this industry of explaining it. https://blog.alexellis.io/introducing-functions-as-a-service/ https://blog.alexellis.io/introducing-functions-as-a-service...
- senko 9y agoMaybe if a better term is used it wouldn't need so much explaining. To me, "Functions as a Service" is massively more obvious than "Serverless".
- xupybd 9y agoAnd the cloud would be better as a server somewhere on the internet but terms like this get created because it's easier to sell a one word concept.
- alexellisuk 9y agoYes... can we all start berating every blog post that uses the word "cloud"? There are no clouds in this server! :-D

- DJHenk 9y agoIt is not to me. Isn't a 'Function as a service' just a... service? Why not just call it a multi server "Platform for services".
