Apache OpenWhisk – A serverless, open-source cloud platform
Nowadays when someone claims to be "serverless", there can be two interpretations:<p>1. It's a server actually. It's just that the server serves up functions, without state. So a more correct terminology would be "stateless servers"<p>2. Truly P2P (Like blockchain), therefore there truly are no "servers".<p>Used to think Amazon did a great job coming up with the jargon that's great for marketing, but lately as we see more and more option 2s which are TRULY "serverless", the option 1s increasingly sound like imposters.<p>After all in option 1, there ARE servers. To be able to claim you're "serverless", you really shouldn't have servers.
