No! That's EXACTLY the point - this is EXACTLY what it isn't - a deployment strategy.

Docker vs Ansible is a deployment strategy.

Relying on others to make your code run on a server is VERY different than doing it yourself. It's practically the difference between a company with a DevOps team and one without it.



So my job is:

Write server-side code as part of my application, targetting some platform API. Once finished, invoke some deployment routine.

The service provider's job is:

Receive a request from me to deploy my server-side code and keep it running on some server cluster.

That's not a serverless applications architecture because the application contains server-side code.

If you don't want to call it a deployment strategy, fine, I won't insist on that name, even though in my view using a service provider for deployment deserves to be called a deployment strategy.

More generally, it's an approach to make my server-side code run once I'm finished writing it. Call it what you will.
