Serverless means you don't have to explicit manage hosts yourself. They are transparent to you. In that case Lambda is no different from blockchain, where you have either AWS/server farm to run the actual code for you.

Which in term, makes this project weird. Because in order to use it, you still needs to hosts a group of servers yourself. If someones else hosts it for you, you don't really care what framework they are using.

So they say but it still sounds daft.

I have a ticket to fly from London to NYC but all I have to do is turn-up and sit in a seat, someone else manages the imfrastructure. Aeroplaneless architecture!
