Yes, the exact same snarky comment that comes up every time someone brings up the word "serverless." Anyone who is using this code base is probably smart enough to connect the dots that yes, the code is running on some server some where.
When it was first came to my attention, I assumed it meant "peer to peer" or "all code runs locally". I don't feel like that's because I wasn't smart enough. It is a fairly silly name.
That's correct. "serverless" does not mean "does not run on a server". It means the cloud provider handles server allocation. It's a misnomer.
Right. Whoever uses the term "serverless" without irony can't be trusted with any decision about security, privacy or performance.
