Apache OpenWhisk – A serverless, open-source cloud platform
Nowadays when someone claims to be &quot;serverless&quot;, there can be two interpretations:<p>1. It&#x27;s a server actually. It&#x27;s just that the server serves up functions, without state. So a more correct terminology would be &quot;stateless servers&quot;<p>2. Truly P2P (Like blockchain), therefore there truly are no &quot;servers&quot;.<p>Used to think Amazon did a great job coming up with the jargon that&#x27;s great for marketing, but lately as we see more and more option 2s which are TRULY &quot;serverless&quot;, the option 1s increasingly sound like imposters.<p>After all in option 1, there ARE servers. To be able to claim you&#x27;re &quot;serverless&quot;, you really shouldn&#x27;t have servers.
