Ah, serverless computing - the buzzword that's been taking the tech world by storm. But what exactly is it, and why should you care? Simply put, se...

“and a Lambda function to handle server-side logic”. You mean the serverless-side logic? Oh wait. It’s all cool, hyped and fancy but really you’re just using someone else’s server instead of your own, which has been the case with shared hosting since, well, Geocities.
Serverless architecture abstracts away server management, allowing developers to focus solely on writing code without worrying about infrastructure. While it utilizes cloud servers, the emphasis is on the "serverless" model, where developers only pay for what they use and scale effortlessly. It does not mean that there is no servers.
You didn't get the sarcasm but that's not a reason to ask ChatGPT what serverless really means and paste it here.
LOL. No AI assistance needed for this one. That comment was all human-crafted.
Sure, if that makes you feel better about using it to write the article…
Dear Thibaut, for the past five years, I've been crafting articles across various websites. If you're unsure about how to write an article, that's perfectly fine – learning is always an option. However, if you suspect this article was generated by AI, feel free to run it through an AI detector and you will know why you need to grow your mindset.
Dude, one year ago you couldn't write a 2 sentences comment without 3 grammar errors and now you're the prodigal son of articles? Give us a break. I don't need an AI detector to do that, my integrated bullshit detector (aka common sense) already went through the roof. i.e. you're telling us the same person wrote dev.to/ritikbanger/how-to-write-gi... and this article? It's insulting to think we're stupid enough to believe so. Bye now.
AWS service is not backed by servers ?
How evil it is to call this serverless.
Although AWS services are indeed powered by servers, the term "serverless" in this context means developers can build and deploy applications without managing server infrastructure directly. It's a convenience term emphasizing the abstraction of server management tasks, enabling a more streamlined development process.
Good read. One question I have - what kind of URL is outputted when we deploy the S3 bucket? Is it a “s3.website”-type url, or a special serverless url? The reason I ask is I’m confused how we are able to submit the form to ‘/submit-contact’ and don’t have to use a fully qualified domain or lambda function URL. Thanks for the article
When you deploy the S3 bucket for your serverless web application, the URL typically takes the form of "bucket-name.s3-website-region.amazonaws.com." This is known as a "static website hosting" URL, specific to S3 hosting.
Regarding submitting the form to '/submit-contact' without using a fully qualified domain or Lambda function URL, in a typical serverless setup with AWS, you would likely employ API Gateway to create a custom RESTful API endpoint like '/submit-contact'. This API Gateway endpoint would be configured to trigger your Lambda function directly. So, although the endpoint appears to be relative, behind the scenes, API Gateway is handling the routing to the appropriate Lambda function.
In the current scenerio, you can see that we have created this endpoint.
Serverless is just a joke.
