Hey Venkat! Thanks for replying in good humor.

Now that you explain your reasoning a bit, and upon re-reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serverless_computing, I think using "serverless" in this context makes sense. I see "serverless" used so much more often to describe compute runtimes like AWS Lambda than databases that, I confess, I thought you might be trying to ride that wave's popularity; and/or that you might be using "serverless" _just_ because the servers were managed by you not the users, whereas you allocate capacity on a more granular level than the server.

I do still recommend you take out the "cloud hardware" bit ;D

Thanks for the explanation, and best of luck! Cool model.
