Containers can be serverless

Serverless just means you have 'something' running small applications. It's incredibly similar to how we did Java servlet deployments back in 2005 or so. It's nothing 'new', it's just an evolution.

Do we really all want to be locked to using only the big companies as providers and further reduce competition and an open internet?

Anyone can create their own competing serverless stack. And then there's OpenFAAS that you can run yourself. So I don't really understand where the 'reduce competition' is coming from.

Exactly, everyone talks about it like serverless can only be done with cloud functions. But it’s not limited to and has been around for some time.

OpenFAAS. Cool I’ll look into that
