A comment on Traits of Serverless Architecture.
Many people think FaaS is the definition of serverless which leads to false assumptions.
First "We can build serverless with containers at home, because everyone can host FaaS!"
And "Coldstarts make serverless unusable for many problems!"
If you have to manage servers, vms or container (clusters) your solution isn't serverless.
If you don't like coldstarts, don't use FaaS for your API. Use something like Firestore, AppSync or FaunaDB.
