I am annoyed by that term too, but "serverless" is what everyone is calling it right now so to get the right readers he had to call it that. He immediately follows a popular recommendation to switch to FaaS (Functions as a Service) and does so for the rest of the article.
Thanks - yes the 'serverless' name isn't great, especially without the clarification of 'server-application-less', which was one of the drivers to me writing the article. I'm not in love with FaaS as a name (yet another AAS), but it's certainly more descriptive than serverless.
Hi, this article was actually written by me, @mikebroberts, but Martin graciously asked if I could host on his site. I don't work for ThoughtWorks but did a decade ago.
