Serverless refers to you administering the application and its resources but not the server directly. Yes, at some level servers are involved, but generally the organization deploying applications is not responsible for administering the hardware, the OS, other resources, often including the scaling of the server resources: they're only concerned with the administration of the application. One can argue that at some level the organization deploying the application is often still concerned with the underlying server and where that line is drawn, but many find it meaningful to make such a distinction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serverless_computing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serverless_computing
