FWIW, OpenWhisk, while available on IBM Bluemix, is also open source and can be run wherever you so desire: https://github.com/openwhisk/openwhisk

If you want to run it in aws you will still have to run it on a server.

BTW: I really hate the marketing inventions. There's no cloud, or serverless, you still run your software on someone's server.

I hear ya. The keyless entry on my Prius still requires me to carry a key.

That's a bit different, you have a different technology (although it still contains a key as a backup) and call it a key.

Anyway the serverless is essentially (as someone here pointed out) the same idea as shared hosting which is very popular with php. It just uses a different name.
