“serverless” is purrobably the most confusing pawsible name they could have given to that kind of cloud service and i hate that about it
Serverless
Look inside
Servers
@vaporeon_ i was so confused when clodboy was doing a coding bootcamp and he mentioned offhand they were learning how to deploy a web application using a “serverless” architecture
@aescling Sorry, I am too asleep to remember what exactly serverless was, is that when they spin up extra servers on demand when the load gets too big for one server to handle?
@vaporeon_ yes. but also, if there is no load at all, no servers are being spun up at all
@vaporeon_ in between those requests there are periods of no load
@vaporeon_ i have to imagine there are latency purroblems with this kind of architecture
@aescling Is that even possible nowadays that there's no load at all? Even my worthless website with no interesting content and that I never promoted anywhere except in some follower-only posts on here gets automatic requests from web scrapers or whatever at least several times per hour...
