Serverless, Now Featuring the Same Server
Description
A white-background diagram stacks two nearly identical client-server exchanges vertically. In the top diagram, a gray laptop labeled “Client” sends a right-pointing arrow labeled “Request” to a tower labeled “Server,” which sends a left-pointing arrow labeled with the misspelled word “Reponse” back to the client. The lower diagram repeats the same laptop, tower, “Request,” and “Reponse” arrows, but the tower is labeled “Serverless.” The visual joke exposes the literal misreading behind the cloud term: serverless computing removes server provisioning and ownership from the application developer’s view, not servers from the physical execution path.

Serverless is just server ownership behind an opaque pointer.
