Please don't take as disregarding your probably clear explanation, but if I had to show my grandma a youtube video about this subject, wich one would you choose?

I'm regarding this subject as Lambda calculas > lambda functions > serverless > "business logic i can define and upload and let idle in the internets without worrying about managing the computers that actually made that business logic available worldwide behing an URL "

I know the HN crowd is skeptical about serverless but as a non developper, it is pretty mindblowing the barriers that AWS + lambda functions are taking down.

I am not skeptical. All my applications are serverless. I find this makes for extreme portability without many privacy and security concerns.
