Re: Serverless Map/Reduce
#4Saw the presentation last week at ServerlessConf in London and it really looks very promising. The cost behind this solution is what will really make me check this out :)
P.S. Quoting the author: "As you can see for these queries, the reference implementation performs reasonably well; it's nowhere near Redshift performance for the same queries, but for the price it really can't be beat today"

The term "Serverless" means that you don't manage the servers, neither hardware nor virtual machines. Instead, you use exclusively AWS lambda and/or similar services.
I find that term confusing, too, but it seems to be well-established by now, so we have to live with that.

Doesn't necessarily have to be through AWS. In fact, the Serverless Framework folks are working hard to make their framework suitable for other serverless service providers.

Oh come on. Is it still not accepted that "serverless" is the colloquial name for AWS Lambda and comparable services? Stop trying to make "FaaS" happen. It's not going to happen.

I understand the confusion, but the term "serverless" refers to the developer not having to provision and maintain a server like an EC2 instance themselves.
On AWS' side yes there are servers powering Lambda, but developers do not have worry about them at all. The code just runs.

Please refrain from strawman arguments. I wrote "AWS lambda and/or similar services".
In the Fowler article, you find a nice classification of these services:
- BaaS (Backend as a Service)
- FaaS (Funciton as a Service)

Sorry :P read "exclusively AWS", and stopped reading!
