"Run code without provisioning or managing servers [...] pay only for the time you consume"
Makes sense, but based on the name, I initially expected to see a framework that lets you spin up an app without writing any backend code, perhaps like using Firebase but more framework and less service. Then I thought there are even more ways to remove the server.
Maybe there should be multiple levels of "serverless". Type 0 serverless is an html file. Type 1 serverless is a static web page. Type 2 serverless is a dynamic app with a backend service; no writing backend code. Type 3 serverless is a dynamic app plus backend code with a backend management service; no provisioning or managing backend instances.
