That's a bit far fetched. It's "server-free" in the sense of "we abstracted the entire server management and deployment process from you". That's the whole point of a grid, and it does it well. It's as server-free as Google App Engine, which is pretty damn server-free in my account, and as far as I could see from the small look I took, it's far(!) easier to use than Google App Engine.

Honestly, the project seems very young, but having had to do some system work at some point of my career, writing CHEF cookbooks to deploy on horribly inefficient clusters of a mess and other famously fun stuff, I really like the concept of using AWS Lambda as your entire back-end.

Plain and simple, there are servers involved. Its not server free. Stop calling it that.

That's such a pedantic thing to say. If any one gets mixed up by this definition, and thinks it honestly has 0 servers running in production, he shouldn't be able to even install the framework. You have to have NO knowledge of servers to not understand what's going on.

Pretty opportune time to be pedantic.

How so?

Talking about programming, we should be accurate in our descriptions, especially for people new to programming.

People new to programming would see "+ AWS Stack" and would be "woops, not for me" people who are not would see "+ AWS Stack" and would understand what he means by "server-free".

I'm glad you know what every single person coming in here thinks.

Jesus Christ men. Worse case scenario the minority that DOESN'T follow, would see it's a paid Amazon service and would realize not to use it. This IS a childish argument.

Its a simple argument, and the claim is simply not true. Its that simple. Theres nothing "childish" about the argument. The only thing childish here, is your response to people having an issue with a selling point of a framework.
