"If that's what you need...you need a server."
We want micro-services that are available as we need them, at any scale, and we never want to deal with a 'server' again.
"You break the entire model of an oversubscribed multi-tenant container system" - we don't care that much about how it's implemented, or what underlying model is used, as long as it is secure, robust, and reliable.

I'm going to argue that's currently unrealistic, but if you want someone to build something, tell them its impossible. Clearly its not easy to build a system that'll run code on demand as fast as bare metal; accept the trade offs with the understanding why you're making them.
- jomamaxx 10y agoWhat I'm asking for is definitely within grasp of Amazon's team :) they just need to get there. Moreover, it's a rather fundamental opportunity for them: Lambda's are a form of 'container' and they are exactly what so many of us want. The deal-breaker for us was the latency issue. Amazon is a pretty smart company, and it's a big opportunity, I'll bet they eventually get this sorted out.
- Sanddancer 10y agoWhat you're describing is managed hosting. In order to do it, you either have to oversubscribe like hell, and deal with latency, or pay for wide open swaths of server. Pick your poison.
