What the heck -- how have we redefined "serverless" to mean anything but "without servers"? I second the use of "hosted" or "hosted free as in beer" or pretty much any marketing term we want to apply to this as long as it doesn't use words that mean the opposite of reality.
- anant 14y agoPeer-to-peer systems still use DNS "servers". Pure P2P WebRTC systems still need STUN "servers". In fact, one of the peers in a P2P system could also be considered a server. "Serverless" as you define it would describe nothing in existence today. I think the way most people perceive the term is simply to mean reliance on servers that you don't have to build and run.
