serverless supervisor
in charge of making sure the serverless environment is in fact, serverless
occasionally have to check if it's really serverless
one day, find out there are actual servers being used
serverless environment is no longer serverless

I say "how"
he says "I don't know, you're the supervisor"

quit my job
become a servers supervisor
first day on the job, go to the new server room
it's empty, serverless
Does serverless mean, you're hosting on someone else's servers?
Serverless means you don't have a server running 24/7 that's sitting idle waiting for requests. When a user makes a request on a webpage/app it'll run a short lived piece of code for a few dozen milliseconds then shuts off. No permanent "server" running. Of course there's servers running the code to start that function and usually a permanent database server but the main app/website code is running on demand only.
so CGI
Yep. On someone else's big pool of servers.
