Is Serverless Computing Becoming a Threat to Google Cloud?

• seabird 9y ago
  The whole concept of "serverless" strikes me as a fairly stupid way of handling things. As much as we'd like to, it's impossible to separate absolutely everything from the platform that runs it. Although "serverless" may be great for a backwater operation that's looking to save a few cents and lower dev workload, any software doing heavy lifting is going to be made with the strengths and weaknesses of its underlying platform in mind. It's only a matter of time until we're making optimization considerations the same way we were when we were still concerned with the underlying software running our programs.
