We don't call Gmail, Flickr, and HN "serverless" because we're not trying to distinguish them from managing servers and because they're not infrastructure. Wikipedia defines serverless as follows: > "Serverless computing is a cloud computing execution model in which the cloud provider allocates machine resources on demand, taking care of the servers on behalf of their customers." What part of that definition doesn't apply to S3? Amazon themselves[1] define S3 as serverless. Your linked article also says that Cloudwatch and other AWS servers are serverless as well. I'm sorry(?) that serverless is a broader term than you realized. It was always a somewhat absurd label. 1. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/serverless-multi-tier-architectures-api-gateway-lambda/serverless-data-storage-options.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/serverless-mu...
