> IMO what makes something serverless is that you don't need to provision or manage infrastructure, and also no need to worry about scaling as it will go up and down as needed.

This is why serverless is such a stupid term to begin with, IMO. It's not even an accurate descriptor (the stuff is running on a server _somewhere_), so it really could mean anything.

Something like "cloud functions" to describe Lambda and "managed Kubernetes" for Fargate. Of course, these terms are less sexy, so they'd never catch on.
