There is already a term for that concept: managed services. There is no such thing as a managed service that's designed not to be scalable. Some implementations may be better at scaling than others, but that's it.
The serverless buzzword is pure marketing.
- nck4222 7y agoOn the one hand, the term serverless is really frustrating to me. On the other hand, there's a certain amount of amusement I get from seeing "the cloud" become a marketing buzzword in the mid-late '00's, and now seeing the same thing happen with "serverless." When you look at the implementation of the two "technologies", they're about 95% the same. Yet somehow they're pitched as these big revolutions. In another decade when terminals or p2p become popular again we'll be hearing about some new buzzword like "Terran" computing, or "social" architecture or something.
