[EN] update FaaS & Serverless

[johannes-manner]

Update FaaS and Serverless definitions based on a scientific investigation of these terms

Serverless and FaaS are often used interchangeably when people talk about event-driven stateless functions.
I am a 6th year PhD student at the University of Bamberg, worked a lot on FaaS in the last years as you can see by my published list of papers.
The ambigous use of terms motivated me to make a structured assessment of scientific literature, how they use the terms FaaS and Serverless. A preprint to my paper can be found here.
The reference currently included in the text (Manner 2023) is the landing page (forwarded by doi.org) at IEEE as soon as the paper is published - I presented it last week on IEEE CLOUD 2023.

Hope we have a nice discussion here about these two terms :)

Can anyone of you, @jihoon-seo, @nate-double-u, @iamNoah1, rerun the Spellcheck CI? :)

Excellent work, Johannes! I've shared some recommendations aimed at refining the clarity and conciseness of your text. You're welcome to incorporate any of these suggestions as you prefer. For enhanced maintainability, it would be beneficial to insert line breaks between sentences, rather than splitting them, as observed in certain sections. Additionally, it's advisable to link primarily to the official CNCF documentation for authoritative sources. When citing external references, ensure a variety of sources are used to avoid reliance on a single external site.

Hi @johannes-manner, thanks for your patience. @rolfedh has provided some good feedback - I know it's been a while, but I'd be happy if you're still interested in working through the process of getting your updates in.

[johannes-manner]

Hi, I got notified via mail of your pushes :)
Sorry for not responding - was a bussy time the last weeks.
I would try to look at the changes end of next week and contribute to it.
@iamNoah1, @nate-double-u is this timeline suitable for you?

[iamNoah1]

I added the suggestions of @rolfedh and hope to have resolved the merge conflict correctly. Thanks for everyone involved especially @johannes-manner for the first and biggest batch of work.

[nate-double-u]

Thanks for this @johannes-manner and @rolfedh. These are some good changes.

/approve

Based on @johannes-manner's comment above, I'd like to wait a week before actually merging this in case they have some additional comments based on the changes made, but this is very close to landing 🙂
