Serverless is compute execution, pure and OS-less. The genius of Cloudflare Workers is that it couples the one place Cloudflare beats Amazon (their global ubiquity and edge deployment) into a product feature that a customer cares about. The real genius of AWS at all wasn't "We can sell a thing people will buy" but rather "We can sell excess capacity on a thing we have to have, in order to offer {other, core product}." And Cloudflare has to have network connectivity and minimal latency.
