Why is using the Cloud referred to as going ‘serverless’ when the companies offering Cloud services are STILL using servers?
In: Technology
Imagine you have a task of moving from point A to point B.
You can get your own car and drive there, or you can call an Uber.
In the second case – the car, maintenance, parking, gas, etc are not your concern because you don’t own the car, you just get a service moving between points. The car is still there, but you don’t care about any of that.
The same goes to “serverless”. You don’t manage servers, hardware, software, backups, etc. You just push your code to them, and they handle it.
