“Serverless” in three minutes
Imagine you are interviewing some guy for an IT role and she says that he doesn’t get that of “going to the cloud because everybody knows there are no datacenters in the sky”.
Everybody knows that cloud in cloud computing is just a name.
However, it’s surprising how many people have a similar idea. You chat with someone in IT about “serverless” and she says something like “Serverless doesn’t make any sense. Code has to run on a server”.
I understand technology changes a lot. Sometimes names are not very transparent. And we cannot chase the latest buzzword. Many companies/organisations were still dealing with virtualisation when the cloud came. Then without pause, containers seemed to be the hottest thing.
