> Just remember the modern definition of serverless:
Just because it runs on someone else's machine doesn't mean it is "serverless". an API Gateway obviously is a server.
FAAS is just a good old worker queue, there is nothing new about that.
There is no "modern definition" of serveless. it's just marketing, it has nothing to do with technology. Developers shouldn't use that word and expect to be taken seriously.
