What is a serverless server?

• Nexxxeh 5y ago
  To oversimplify, it's running the Minecraft server software in a way that behaves like it's running on a specific server. But in the background, it's run on a set of Amazon services. You don't have to rent a specific server for a given time period, like monthly server rental. You just use Amazon's on-demand services (that use whichever server resources are required at the time).

    Thank you for that clarification. Aside from interacting with AWS MTurk, I haven't had much experience with Amazon's AWS, so it sounded like a joke.

  serverless == ephemeral, on demand servers

    How is this different from “cloud”?
