Serverless != serverless

You use a lot of servers, you just call them resources. Your S3 storage is a server, your background workers run on a server, and your postgress, well, it doesn't run on a bike.

I hate this confabulating stuff. It's like people believing "the cloud" is an actual cloud. Couldn't we just leave this stuff to the marketing people?

Nevertheless serverless is an actual concept where you don't deploy any server instances, you use only services. Those services might scale up with server instances, but you don't have to know about that.

I was against it too at first, but then I realized how to use it.
