can we stop calling cloudflare worker "serverless" ? There are multiple god damn servers.

  I suggest you review the definition of serverless. Serverless computing is a cloud computing execution model in which the cloud provider allocates machine resources on demand

    yeah we had that some 15 years ago like Google App Engine

      The cool part is that the way CloudFlare does it is really cheap

      Yes, App Engine was an early serverless platform -- even before the term "serverless" had been coined. The technology has improved since then, though.

  But do you have to manage them?

    Some people jokingly call that Stored Procedure in the 21st century.

  the fact that 'serverless' platforms use servers doesn't take away from the fact that the label 'serverless' has useful meaning in describing a kind of platform you should just start re-writing the word in your head to something less upsetting since it's not going anywhere and it actually does contain information

  and god damn clouds are in the sky! maybe we need better names for these kinds of computer configurations.
