Serverless = you don’t have to think about servers. Yes the cloud provider is using servers, but instead of the usual way (even with virtual servers) of writing software in terms of running it on a number of individual servers and passing data between servers, you write the software as if it was just running on one big machine and the cloud provider automatically splits it across however many actual servers it requires.
