I am slightly confused.

Doesnt "serverless" and "using Amazon Web Services" contradict each other?

By "Serverless" we mean the developer does not have to think about servers. They exist, but Amazon manages them.

Instead, the developers deals only with Lambda, an event-driven compute resource. You upload your code and it runs when triggered, scaling horizontally and massively, out-of-the-box.

The workflow rocks because it's endpoint/function isolation, not just application isolation. Every piece of logic is in its own container. Best of all, you only get charged when that code is run (!!!).
