Can we back away a bit from the bandwagoning of misused terminology? Serverless literally means "running your apps on somebody else's server". S3 is not a server you run your apps on, it is SaaS that you manipulate through an API - you don't put your apps on it. If S3 is serverless, then literally every network service of any kind is serverless.
