On: Serverless Architectures

[osipov]

Here's how Google defines Cloud Functions: "Lightweight Event-based Microservices".

Google Cloud Functions is a lightweight, event-based, asynchronous compute solution that allows you to create small, single-purpose functions that respond to cloud events without the need to manage a server or a runtime environment.

Where is the reference to scripting?

He is correct though, it's even in the sentence you quoted:

"...single-purpose functions that respond to cloud events..."

They are meant to react to events within your infrastructure, rather than being public facing application endpoints.
