SQLite Is Serverless

If you examine it closely, youll see that they have alot incommon, and that the author defined the term neo-serverless to attempt to adress this - both definitions share the fact that multiple applications (in clientless form) can access the database. He even gives amazon S3 as an example. For neo serverless.

I agree with you that it take a bit to marry both, but the stretch isnt far.

Im also avoiding criticising the Author for not sticking to the main def, since id then be red-herringing the post.

That is like the least relevant thing on that entire page, to be frank. "SQLite is Serverless" is specifically referring to SQLite being an embeddable library that runs in the same process (and same thread, even) as your application vs. the client-server architecture (database in another process, with communication via a port) that DBMSes like MySQL and co have.

The "main definition" (i.e. the web dev buzzword) came into being years after this post was written.
