Can we stop with these ridiculous terms like server-less and no-code when neither is that? I also have an issue with these over hyped new technologies that you must use but no ones knows how they work underneath. Just fancy magic, enter these commands and directly sudo inject it via bash into your system. That's until 2 years later and someone has to fix something or a system fails but the version you deployed is no longer supported, upgrade is impossible and everyone has moved on to the newest popular setup.

Serverless is just short for: you don’t have to manage your own server, no code is short for: you don’t have to write your own code. Just like c is no-assembly, Java is no-c/no-memory management. Do you think every developer should understand the entire stack below his choice of abstraction? Do you know c, assembly, cpu micro code, tcpip, etc? Do you think every excel macro user should know the entire underlying stack used to create excel?

    So almost no understanding at all, only shallow memories created by the need to pass exams?

  Yes, at least a bit, because the people in IT are the ones that need to make sure the thing runs and that there are backups. Having Devs that don't have a clue about this getting managers to push this garbage on IT makes their life miserable. They are the ones that have run in the middle of the night because some containers aren't running. Not the dev that used some fancy command to deploy it.
