In other words, please don't call your service "Serverless" if it runs on a freaking server!

:-D

Based on the title, I also was expecting something that was designed to run client-side.

Serverless just means "as the user of this service, you don't need to worry-about/think-in-terms-of 'servers'".

It clearly doesn't mean 'no servers involved'.

It's kind of silly for them to compare themselves as "Serverless GraphQL Backend" vs "Backend-as-a-Service" on their homepage as if the two didn't mean exactly the same thing.

Not a really good choice for that word if you ask me.

Hosted just means "as the user of this service, you don't need to worry-about/think-in-terms-of 'servers'".
