The very first thought crosses our minds while hearing Serverless is there won't be any Servers , isn't it?

Let me make it very clear,
Serverless does not mean that there are No servers.
Yes, the name Serverless is deceptive.

Before going in more depth about Serverless technology

Let's first understand,
What actually a Server is?

A computer which is designed to function 24/7 in order to provide services to computers or users(widely referred as client) on a network.
e.g. Web Server, Email Server, Game Server

If you're someone who've hosted their website on any server, must be aware of the fact that

Servers need a lot of maintenance, provisioning and handling.

let's understand Serverless now

In Serverless technologies, everything still must run in servers only, it's just that users/developers do not have to manage/handle/provision the servers anymore.

Yes, this is what it is in simple terms.

It boils down to, the user experience is serverless but the same does not hold true in case of service providers.
