Biggest advantage is that you don't maintain the server, you just pay for them. :) Also, you can choose which vendor will lock you in it's technology stack. :p

True, serverless is much more than FaaS.

Sure, you can run your functions on the infrastructure of Amazon, Google, Microsoft or IBM, but to me it seems they are just tiny bits of glue code to use with the services that do the real work.

While you can use something like the serverless framework to abstract this FaaS stuff, the other services like S3, RDS, DynamoDB or Cognito aren't abstracted away.
