Congrats on the raise, but I'll be honest it really rubs me the wrong way that they renamed to "Serverless Framework" from JAWS. They should have picked a different name. The word "Serverless", for better or worse, was what the community settled on. Lot of companies and individuals use it in many different ways and have before this project existed. But they are trying to own it[1]. Not being a good community member IMO.

Edit: An example of the kind of thing I am concerned will happen[2]. Use the word "serverless" in a project? Get a take down notice.

Since TESS (Trademark Electronic Search System) requires a session, here is your reference [1] in image format. It's a trademark for SERVERLESS and also SERVERLESS FRAMEWORK both filed on November 25, 2015.

Thanks!

I loathe that sort of thing, but in this case I think we lucked out, because "serverless" is a particularly bad name for that style of architecture.

Take this as an opportunity to call it "cloud functions" or "functions as a service" or something more accurate/descriptive.
