Wouldn't it be better to say "SQLite is an embedded database and not client/server". Easily understood using very well-known and absolutely clear terms.
Saying "serverless" is trying to sum up that definition into a single word. It wasn't that useful back then and now has been further overloaded. Who is going to google "serverless" today and learn about SQLite's meaning of it?
- TamDenholm 7y agoI mean i dont really like the term serverless at all anyway, as its meaning isnt really literal, its more literal and correct in the context of SQLite IMO. Unfortunately thats just the world we live in. It also annoys me that the word "literally" now has a secondary definition in the dictionary to mean figuratively, just gotta get used to it, despite my dislike for it. Meanings and definitions of words change over time as they get used. Another prime example would be the word "Hacker".
