Recently I've been fascinated with software architectures that shift the locus of control back to the client, instead of the server/cloud.

So seeing "serverless" in the title caught my attention, only to find that it too looked like just another buzzword..

Agreed, I was thinking workloads being divided up and sent to clients for distributed processing which relieves workload and servers, not "u shuld host ur site in teh CLOUD LOL!!" What garbage.

It's nice that web applications are starting to pick up on this concept. Browsers are advanced enough that the entire front-end can be run 100% in the browser, which shifts a good portion of the app that used to have to be scaled from server to the client. That way you can focus on scaling your API. This split I've noticed also tends to make client-side web apps more responsive (even if it's just an illusion), which people appreciate.

Yep. This really is a wasted occasion, I'd have been really interested in how to build application-specific or generic P2P networks to do that kind of stuff, at the smaller or the wider scale.
