It would be a mistake to discard the useful term "serverless" in favor of some invented term. Any invented term would have to be defined, in which case you're back to where you started from. As you know, no terminology has context-free meaning. (My favorite example is time: "six o'clock" can mean several different things, depending on context.) The fact that some users impose inappropriate context on "serverless" doesn't make that term less useful or descriptive or meaningful. It seems to me the best course of action, to dispell the confusion, is simply to define the term in some prominent location. You already do that at https://sqlite.org/serverless.html. Maybe that page just needs 3rd bullet point? --jkl _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
