When they say "server-less" do they mean building apps with local data and nothing goes to the company, or do they mean the server aspect is all taken care of by them? I'm not the most advanced person and would really like to know more.
Thanks!
- dreamcompiler 8y ago"Serverless" is a marketing buzzword. It does not mean there's no server; it means that you don't have to manually provision a dedicated machine or machines to run your code. Instead, you provide some code (a "lambda") to your cloud provider that they will run when an HTTP(S) request comes in. There is still a cloud provider which is manifestly a server; that's why this buzzword is stupid.
- wilg 8y agoThis is why I call it "I Can't Believe It's Not Server!" instead.
- jacobush 8y agoNo, but it's some kind of grease you put in the pan. I love your appropriation!
- cjohansson 8y ago+1 it’s like managed hosting but you have no control over the server since it ”doesn’t exist”
- Rauchg 8y agoThe data can be stored anywhere. Now is only in charge of executing your code in the best infrastructure provider available. It completely takes away the pain-points of setting up and managing the cloud infrastructure directly.
