You are right. I anticipate terms like “fully managed compute” may become more descriptive for FaaS offerings (Netlify Functions and ilk), and I’m not really sure what to make of where people will take k8s / on-prem FaaS / data layer offerings (Aurora).

Edit: I will say, the term “serverless” itself is certainly sticky and will continue to grow into a larger catch-all term for managed compute innovations over the next few years or more. I think it’s also likely that, from a sales perspective, the term falls out of favor for more specific (and descriptive) types of offerings that all fall under the serverless umbrella — which is pretty much what this article addresses.

Don’t be surprised to see different types of conferences that move away from the “serverless” branding itself as the space continues to grow.
