      No, it’s an API where on requests a server is started up to run your code.

      You don’t run the server, someone else does — hence “serverless”.

      The concept is that you basically upload code directly to the hosting service, then set up an endpoint that points to the code, and magically run it. “Serverless” because you never deal with server setup/config/load balancing/etc… And can pretend that your code runs on nothing if you so please.

        it’s also the same situation with wireless devices. it’s not that there are no wires, it’s that you don’t have to deal with any wires

        Like saying that a Dockerfile or compose.yaml is “containerless” because you don’t have to manually provision a container?

        The future is fucking stupid.

          No, nerds actually getting riled up over the pedantics of this naming scheme is the sad thing. Like honestly, it’s a hoot watching you all get riled up over the pretty decent and descriptive name.

          REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THE SERVER IT’S REALLY THERE, IT’S JUST OBFUSCATED 🤣🤣🤣🤣
