To spare someone a click, yes there is still a postgres server.
Can't stop being mad at the misuse of "serverless". Even worse than using crypto for cryptocurrencies. Words have meaning...
- chungy 4y agoAt least there are cryptographic functions backing cryptocurrency. It's not _as_ inaccurate as "serverless".
- halayli 4y agoAnd what's your definition of serverless?
- throwaway290 4y agoSomething from peer to peer world for example (or postgres embedded in the same process perhaps)
- hot_gril 4y agoThe title made me think there's, uh, no server. So Postgres running locally on a client. I'm not being obtuse or something, it's a reasonable guess.
- throwaway936x 4y agoFrom what I can tell, you still need to think of it in terms of hardware, as the prices are based on instance sizes. A true serverless solution, is for me something that takes care of this automatically by autoscaling / sharding. I should just have to point my database connection to an URL and it would not require any thoughts on my side. If I suddenly get a peek during Black Friday it should just handle it transparently.
- manigandham 4y agoIt is a terrible term but in this case it's referring to the client application, not the database instance.
