    Just like so many “no code” solutions that only become truly useful once I figure out how to expose and modify the obfuscated code. But I don’t talk about Microsoft anymore.

      No, it’s an API where on requests a server is started up to run your code.

      You don’t run the server, someone else does — hence “serverless”.

        The moment I realized AWS Lambda is a scam was the moment I learned that you have to check if you need to clean up your runtime environment at function start, because it will sometimes reuse the same server between runs, because it’s a server that they don’t even bother to have behave as if it isn’t.

      The concept is that you basically upload code directly to the hosting service, then set up an endpoint that points to the code, and magically run it. “Serverless” because you never deal with server setup/config/load balancing/etc… And can pretend that your code runs on nothing if you so please.

        Like saying that a Dockerfile or compose.yaml is “containerless” because you don’t have to manually provision a container?

        The future is fucking stupid.

          No, nerds actually getting riled up over the pedantics of this naming scheme is the sad thing. Like honestly, it’s a hoot watching you all get riled up over the pretty decent and descriptive name.

          REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THE SERVER IT’S REALLY THERE, IT’S JUST OBFUSCATED 🤣🤣🤣🤣

        it’s also the same situation with wireless devices. it’s not that there are no wires, it’s that you don’t have to deal with any wires

    the term is incredibly stupid. however, serverless services like cloud run are super cool in that you can scale down to 0, which makes it ideal for things that only get used once in a while. the containers only take 2 or 3 seconds to spin up as well, and the no config scaling support is pretty nice.

    Of course it’s called serverless because there are less servers! /s
