#44I built a prototype of something very similar, but using Google BigQuery to store and extract data[0] but never took it beyond the concept phase. I’m still using and actively maintain an open source lambda-based A/B testing severless framework however with similar (but simpler) architecture[1]

#45I would rather call them instead "zero config servers".

#46"serverless" is really the misnomer of the year.
It’s just a distraction from someone sharing free and functional code with the community.

Someone posts this on every article called serverless, but what is the purpose? Everyone used to say the same thing about cloud computing. It’s just a distraction from someone sharing free and functional code with the community.
Cloud I gave up on quite early. It's a nonsense word but not an incorrect one: sure, it's not literally water vapor, but it's not like you're saying "yourcomputer" when the definition is "someone else's computer". Cloud is a new word for something that didn't really have a word. "Server" comes close, but in "cloud" there is the additional implication that it's not yours (making quite a difference in many cases, so I guess it warrants having another word). Serverless... that's just shared hosting.

I hope this one won't stick. I never call it serverless because it doesn't make any sense to me (I call it "shared hosting", the term everyone already knows). Then, by pointing it out to those who do, maybe they realize that they're repeating marketing nonsense. Cloud I gave up on quite early. It's a nonsense word but not an incorrect one: sure, it's not literally water vapor, but it's not like you're saying "yourcom…

> google analytics is not the same as analyzing server logs This is what most people don’t get with ga. Google Analytics does the heavy lift by removing incoherent , corrupted or malicious data insertion. Let’s say I use Puppeteer i can scrap this page a million time with completely wrong headers like « Netscape 8.1 ». GA purify this type of malicious attempts , it will probably look my IP Adress and figure out that…

There client is server so it's Serverless.
