Can you think of a better name for it? I think re: developer experience it's pretty fitting, since in practical terms it means not needing to set up, manage, maintain, or pay for a server (or even write any back-end code, depending on the implementation). It's not really accurate in technical terms of what's going on behind the curtain but I don't really think that's the point.

Infrastructure as a Service

Doesn't have quite the same marketable ring to it, but not bad!
