#12'Serverless' heh... oh man marketing is great. Just like if you have it in the cloud it's 'hardwareless' right?
I don't mind this name. We're OK with 'wireless' access to Internet, although it's pretty clear that the packets will hit a wire at some point. Wireless means I'm not pulling a cord along with my phone. 'serverless' similarly means my code is not listening on a socket, although the request does come from some socket, of course

#14Lambda is great but it is not serverless, but more a PaaS for microservices. Which is a great direction to head, but not the correct vocabulary.
"Serverless" can more accurately be said of the P2P/decentralized movement:
etc.

Your 'wireless' analogy is the most convincing explanation I've heard for the term yet. When I was struggling with accepting 'serverless' as a legitimate name for Function-calls-as-a-Service, I reminded myself that there's no server to SFTP or SSH into to muck about on its filesystem.

#16How does it compare to Apex? Anybody with experience on both?
PS: Besides the fact APEX is only for AWS, however, APEX is very mature.

#20Author of Zappa[0] here - glad to see more F/OSS implementations in this space - see also OpenWhisk and I think there was another (IronIO? MetalIO? Something like that?) - but I think an important piece that's missing is a F/OSS implementation of API Gateway! That's part of the reason the AWS is still the leader of the pack IMO.
