About merging serverless computing with Function as a Service

According to [1], serverless encompasses FaaS and mobile backend as a service. Admittedly I have seen other articles where serverless is a synonym for FaaS. JnRouvignac (talk) 08:51, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mildly object. I think that serverless computing is broader than just FaaS and should include PaaS, so these aren't the same thing. The FaaS article should be more widely developed since there is plenty more to say about it. StacksofHoy (talk) 12:49, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's just such a big topic, and so fast moving - I'd let them all have their own page. "traditional music" "folk music" - sure, lots of overlap but plenty to be said about each sense. I think the warning can be taken down and leave it as is for now - maybe in three years the terms will be more settled and one or two can be eliminated. 24.42.191.195 (talk) 20:16, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I second the mild objection to FaaS and serverless being combined. Serverless is less about functions as payloads of executions, and more about not having to administer servers. --Huntc (talk) 05:40, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
