It is what it is - and I put a paragraph at the start of the blog for folks who are still confused. It explains that Serverless is a pattern and not a literal term. I even wrote a blog post about it - we've done such a poor job in this industry of explaining it. https://blog.alexellis.io/introducing-functions-as-a-service...

Maybe if a better term is used it wouldn't need so much explaining.
To me, "Functions as a Service" is massively more obvious than "Serverless".

And the cloud would be better as a server somewhere on the internet but terms like this get created because it's easier to sell a one word concept.

Yes... can we all start berating every blog post that uses the word "cloud"? There are no clouds in this server! :-D
