- throw_m239339 6y ago> SQLite was already serverless. Yes but now it runs on someone else server! Wait a minute, this makes no sense... 'serverless' is perhaps the stupidest marketing buzzword developers have come up with.
- ithkuil 6y agoIndeed it's quite stupid. Any alternative catchy name for the concept?
- sbierwagen 6y agoHow about "inetd"?
- _ZeD_ 6y agosysadmin-less, or "someone else server"
- jahnu 6y agoI would have preferred something like daemonless, processless, or something that more closely describes what's being offered. My suggestions also are flawed but less flawed than serverless, imho.
- Animats 6y ago"Shared hosting".
- laumars 6y agoWe already had terms that covers about 90% of the different use cases: “managed”, “SaaS”, “shared hosting”, “multi-tendency”, “timesharing”.
- chrisweekly 6y agotendency > tenancy (or tenant)
- laumars 6y agoYeah sorry, that must have been autocorrected on my phone. The words are visually similar enough that it’s easy to miss.

- slightwinder 6y agoIsn't the modern serverless just a "load on demand"-concept?
- ithkuil 6y agoMy intuition is: "Don't care where it runs, don't want to manage it, I want to pay only for when I actually use it, thanks for managing it, here's some extra cash for the effort"
- chrisweekly 6y ago(Neo-)Serverless just means billing per-request instead of per-day, right?
- ithkuil 6y agoMore or less yes. But you can only apply that metric if you remove the end users from actually touching the machines (virtual or real). This is the "less" in serverless. Turns out that this is also something people want: not having to be on the hook for actually administering machines, installing security patches etc etc. So managed (platform as a) service + fine grained billing
- LarvaFX 6y agoI thought the term was FaaS?
- flower-giraffe 6y agoHomeless - of no fixed abode. Catchy like vagrant but perhaps a bit insensitive (unless it was used to highlight the plight of the homeless). Less catchy - Poste Restante or General Delivery https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poste_restante https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poste_restante
- Mutjake 6y agoDunno about the catchy, but Runtime as a Service could fit the *aaS pattern.

- hubadu 6y agoNoSrv
- nelsonenzo 6y agowell, you don't need to manage a server to run the process. So, technically, it is less server. It's not no-server, just less.

- enz 6y agoAccording to your link: > Recently, folks have begun to use the word "serverless" to mean something subtly different from its intended meaning in this document. Here are two possible definitions of "serverless": Classic Serverless: [...] Neo-Serverless: [...] SQLite was already "Classic Serverless". Now it's "Neo Serverless" as well.
