So, it isn't serverless in that there is no server. You write an application for a node server, and then with one command it gets deployed on an AWS server, right?

It gets deployed as a Lambda function so you don't have to mess around with setting up an ec2 instance (a server). The Lambda function runs on a server yes, but that's all abstracted away. The Lambda function also has auto scaling built in and you are only charged for usage vs an ec2 instance where you're charged for up time and other charges.
