Digging into the helpful replies people posted, it seems the serverless fad is a function of high cloud pricing. It's particularly funny that it makes the same promises cloud services did a decade ago ("pay only for what you need!").

I would love to run the experiment where I try running Pinboard on AWS for a week, and serverless for a week, to compare costs, but I literally can't afford it. Delicious before I bought it was racking up a $28K/month cloud bill just serving spambots. Now it costs ~$200/month.

Every word of that link made me angry. You can't serve without a server; the cloud is "other people's hardware." I hate the modern internet.

After that, how about doing the same for Kubernetes?

It’s just, and bear with me here, someone else’s server.

My favorite current buzzword is "bare metal cloud instances." There's no hypervisor! No virtualization to slow you down! No one else sharing the system resources! So, we've bypassed the cloud and come full-circle back to dedicated servers, they're just more expensive now.

It sounds like a synonym for "extremely expensive"
