serverless supervisor

in charge of making sure the serverless environment is in fact, serverless

occasionally have to check if it's really serverless

one day, find out there are actual servers being used

serverless environment is no longer serverless

Does serverless mean, you're hosting on someone else's servers?

Serverless means you don't have a server running 24/7 that's sitting idle waiting for requests. When a user makes a request on a webpage/app it'll run a short lived piece of code for a few dozen milliseconds then shuts off. No permanent "server" running. Of course there's servers running the code to start that function and usually a permanent database server but the main app/website code is running on demand only.
