How would you describe that which is called "serverless"?

Replying to @lennym
Autoscaling PaaS? I mean I don't love XaaS either but at least it doesn't sound like something it's not.

there's also this event-orientedness of serverless stuff that I think is important to capture, vs. PaaS like Heroku.

So the non-REST is a critical difference? Seems a little weird I think.

i don't think it's just non-REST — but if you're building a RESTful API in serverless, you're still architecting events

endpoints + requests give way to functions + events. it's a similar pattern, but it's general to serverless

But since you're not calling functions by reference you're still invoking something by endpoint name and params no?

yeah — like, we still have to handle requests. but a function's a whole container. there's no request-piping stack inside a function (nrmly)

so fundamentally, yes. you're still building a restful api where a request hits an endpoint. but that becomes an event…

you still have to define what that event does. so serverless is bscly an architecture around events that spin up function-sized containers

when i did it it was using auth0, so you just call an API within a function
