It's serverless in the sense that you (your entity, company, whatever) don't have to admin any servers to make it work.

As with "hackers" vs. "crackers", I suspect this little terminology war is already lost.

Hackers hack computers and networks, Crackers crack software. There is a clear difference between those two words.

A clear difference that's meaningless to and ignored by most, as with the fact that "serverless" isn't really serverless. Like I said, I suspect the war's lost.

Well, like it or not, the term "Serverless" has been adopted by the industry/community and refers to an architectural approach of leveraging 3rd party services.

Didn't you get the memo? "Cloud" is so 2016. "Serverless" is the new hotness.
