Here's one way to think of it:

When you deploy functions-as-a-service, how many servers do you personally have to spin up and manage?

Also, the cloud providers make no guarantee that your function will actually run on a server. Your AWS Lambda might function end up running on Jeff Bezos' laptop, or on a Raspberry Pi in the front closet of Amazon's Timbuktu sales office. Laugh | :laugh:

Or another way to look at it:

Functions-as-a-service are computing for serverless people, sort of like how Uber is transportation for carless people. In both cases, you can achieve your goal without having to deal with the headaches of owning and maintaining infrastructure. And also in both cases, they're awesome if they fit your use cases, and useless if they don't.

I'm going to be posting an article about all of this some time in the next week.
