Wouldn't that mean that every single webspace hoster has been "serverless" since the 90s? Because the customers won't have to manage or worry about them, ever.

Thank you for that article. I still find it confusing... I'm not a friend of buzzword bingo. A server is a server even if I can't see it. Alas, if that's what the technology should be called, I begrudgingly accept.

I wish more people would care about technology. We seem to go back into a time where computers are seen as "magic devices" doing "magic things". Sorry for being so stubborn about that.

I hear you! And while I miss having the observability I got with a traditional server, with serverless there are some benefits I just can't deny. Things like cost-effectiveness, scaling and the fact that it lets me - a front-end developer - worry about the business logic and the user experience rather than mucking about with the backend.

To each it's own, I guess :)
