I respectfully disagree, but that might be just my own experience. I always considered things I've deployed there to be exactly servers.

I certainly consider there to be a significant paradigm difference between stuff I put on AWS/API Gateway/Lambda and Heroku.

Anyway, I asked to genuinely seek your thoughts rather than to disagree. Original tweet has a lot of truth - just looking for a better name.

are you splitting hairs on stateless vs stateful programming? FaaS implies stateless by design, others allow either

REST programming (Rails and PHP) is stateless or it doesn't work. Pure means no side effects and at some point you need to record things.

REST programming isn’t a thing, REST is a way to transmit data that describes where you can move from it; FP stateless is pure

HTTP verbs imply idempotence, etc. If you go with the grain on HTTP you have a shared-nothing architecture.

sure, but that’s level 2 on RMM, level 3 is hypermedia which is a pre-req of REST… without Link header you don’t have REST

devs took this into weird areas with json-ld, etc., where it’s baked into the data by convention, ignoring the protocol entirely

so to get back on track, of course any function in any lang might be pure, but imo FaaS is FP over the wire :)

To an FP adherent, everything is the second coming of FP. I don't think "FP over the wire" is how most ppl use serverless ;)
