That is not without a server... it's not your server, but it does have a server side.

  Yeah. You are right. Should have use a different terminology.

  In fairness, "serverless" architecture involves servers. I am appalled by the constant erosion of meaning in the tech field, but there you are.

    How do we refer to the type of architecture without server-side component proper[0][1][2] though? Makes it surprisingly hard to find material and research on those topics. Recently I was looking for one insightful talk (with a PoC) where websites run completely on users’ machines. It’s been a couple of years since I saw that talk for the first time, “cloud” was the term of choice to refer to what’s “serverless” now. I had to give up after pages upon pages of search results talking about Lambda or Azure (otherwise I’d have linked the talk here, of course).

  I think "serverless" always just implies there's not a server that you yourself have to spin up and manage. Of course there's still a server...
