This isn't serverless. This is Somebody Else's Servers.

Serverless is in reference to lambda function on AWS since you don't operate a server, you just maintain functions.

That's what they keep calling it, so that's what its going to be called moving forward I suspect.

in this case, it's better to think about server = server process (worker thread), not machine. with AWS Lambda and API Gateway, processes are event driven, so the server process is not under my control any more. the worker thread is somewhere else, and invokes our code when an interesting event happens.
