This is just a pendulum that swings back and forth, with 'serverless' as a new buzzword.

Everything was on the server (mainframe) with dumb terminals, where the mainframe was essentially the cloud, then we went to fat-terminals with the pc-era. The web came along and everything went back to the server, then smartphones and tablets, and we went back to apps with data stored on the server. Now we're going back again.

Where is this all going?
