Amazon already uses a similar term. Consider renaming yours to avoid confusion.

really really cool. I've shared it in a facebook group for front end devs that I'm part of.
One minor issue: Your search bar doesn't look like one :) I didn't notice it until my second visit.
I agree that "serverless" now mainly means "Function as a Service." The goal here is convey that there is no server component of the database, similar to SQLite and unlike PostgreSQL.
What is the correct terminology to highlight this architectural distinction?
your headline is good except the term "serverless".
please drop it.
The term means much more than "not hosting it on a server". As somebody pointed out, "embedded datastore" may be a better term.
have you considered using babel?
Back in August I launched https://IndieHackers.com, a site where the founders of profitable online businesses share their stories and revenue transparently. I actually got the idea after reading lots of threads like this one on HN :D
Indie Hackers is my full-time job now. Is it "successful"? I think so! I've done over 90 interviews, and they've been read over one million times in the past 5 months, largely by you guys! I also made $2239 in December and hope to grow revenue another 50% in January. (As I do every month, I just blogged about that here: https://IndieHackers.com/blog)
I'm working on a podcast as well that I'm really excited about, as I've found it's a bit easier to get famous founders to agree to that format and to speak transparently about behind the scenes details.
Great work man with IT! I'm on your email list and watching what you're up to regularly :)
What I would like to see in your future written interviews or podcast (a podcast would be great; I'll subscribe immediately!), is more emphasis on how they got the right customers and how they grew their customer base.

Jekyll/Lektor as a static CMS. Deployed to Amazon S3 backed by Cloudfront CDN.
All of this gives me: ease of deploy, AWS's reliable infrastructure, ultra fast website (can easily score 90+ out of 100 on google's pagespeed insights tool), delivered over SSL with a free certificate on my own domain, "infinite" scale, etc.
All of this can literally run on cents of a dollar per month.
Interesting and useful idea. How have you handled licensing? I don't see any mention of it on your site (though I may have missed it), and I see that paulgraham.com carries a copyright mark.
Thanks, I have not thought about that. I figured (hoping) that it would be ok if this is a free project for the community.
Hi HN,
I wanted to read PG's essays but for such long content, I prefer audio. So I made a podcast out of his essays.
I generated the audio automatically with Amazon Polly, AWS's lifelike text-to-speech offering. It reads impressively well like a human. I thought you'd find it useful. It's available on iTunes as well (you'll find the link on the website)
It was not all straightforward though. For example, there is currently a limit of 1500 characters to be translated per request. I also have to merge all of the audio parts in order.
I'd like to invite you to check it out. If you have any advice on how to improve this, do let me know.
Jeshan.
It goes into detail on how to use AWS and React.js to handle user authentication, file uploads, and securing your serverless backend. We go through step-by-step building a simple note taking app with detailed screenshots and code samples.
