- cryptos 3y agoYeah, but CGI has fallen out of fashion and needed a re-branding!
- aitchnyu 3y agoAnd are we leaving performance on the table since jit based platforms never warm up?
- randomdata 3y agoNothing, really. The application not having an in-process web server, à la CGI, is what 'serverless' refers to. Although CGI is a defined protocol. Serverless is a more broad term, not limited to any particular protocol.
