I'm sure this is a great resource, only "Serverless" is really the worst possible tag to put on something requires a server per definition. I mean, Zeronet or anything else truly distributed, OK, but not for something that's simply characterized by running on a formalized serverbase like AWS.
- bigtunacan 9y agoWhile not really accurate, "Serverless computing" is the accepted industry standard term for this model where server management is abstracted away with cloud-based services. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serverless_computing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serverless_computing
- mrmondo 9y agoI would argue that it’s not an industry standard unless it’s back by some sort of ISO like RFC. I’d also argue that it’s not an accepted term as _many_ people don’t agree with its misleading name, for example I personally see it as marketing spin.
- ceejayoz 9y agoNext you'll tell me "cloud" computing doesn't happen inside a bunch of water vapor.
- chc 9y agoThe thing here is that they're not using any of AWS's proper server offerings. There's no EC2 or Lightsail or even RDS. There is no thing or concrete group of things that you can point to and say, "There, those are my servers." It's based off API Gateway, S3 and Lambda, none of which is recognizable as a server in the traditional sense (though of course there are servers behind the scenes implementing the abstraction).
