When lambda came out and serverless started getting big, most scrappy startups hired many frontend devs. It was the heydays of SPAs, light backends, and thick frontends. “Serverless” is a great way to say “you don’t need to be a backend dev or even know anything about backend to deploy with us” And it worked really really well. Then people realized that they should know a thing or two about backend. I always really hated that term.
