> Serverless means spinning compute resources up on demand in the cloud vs. running a server permanently. Not quite. Serverless means you can run a server permanently, but you need pay someone else to manage the infrastructure for you. | ||

You might be conflating "cloud" with serverless. Serverless is where developers can focus on code, with little care of the infrastructure it runs on, and is pay-as-you-go. | ||

Depends if you mean "server" as in piece of metal (or vm), or as in "a daemon" | ||

Close. It means there's no persistent infra charges and you're charged on use. You dont run anything permanently. | ||
