Great article! I've always struggled to understand why it's called serverless when it clearly runs on a server 😁
A couple of writing tidbits if you'd like them:
et cetera is abbriviated to etc. not e.t.c.. It's actually Latin for "and the rest". I guess people who wrote "et cetera" a lot got bored of writing it out in full!
i.e. is another Latin abbreviation, this time for "id est" and can be roughly translated to "in other words", so you might say "Severless (i.e. computing where you don't do any of the server management yourself)", but you should not use it to give examples.
e.g. is an abbreviations of the Latin "exempli gratia", and basically means "for example". So you could say "Serverless systems, e.g. Microsoft Azure Functions". You'd use "e.g." there instead of "i.e." because Azure Functions are not the only serverless system.

Thanks Matt for pointing this out. i.e shouldn’t be used for examples, e.g. should be used instead. Also, it’s etc. not e.t.c.
Noted.
