> Serverless is a latest heavily marketed fad.

Serverless is the future of the Industry.

Lambda is not Serverless , it's just a FaaS which is a component of an entire Serverless Architecture.

Most specifically the majority of services provided by AWS and in the Cloud already are Serverless :

- Pay per usage ( GB , Execution , API Call )

- No Scaling or Provisioning ( SQS , CloudFront , Firebase )

- High Avaibility by default ( SQS , CloudFront , Firebase )

- Auto Scaling by default ( Azure CosmosDB , Firebase )

- Little to no technical limits for the service ( GCloud DataStore , S3 etc... )

If you have very little knowledge about something you shouldn't criticize it , that make you sounds even more ignorant.

Most of the stuff that people actually use on AWS (S3 , CloudFront , SQS , SNS ) are delivered with a serverless architecture in mind.

Again , if you are thinking "Lambda === Serverless" you really need to read more about this topic.
