"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”
