No, the future is serverless applications in the major cloud providers where every server is abstracted away and things scale automatically.
The reason for this is the enormous cost benefits (its super cheap, you only pay when your code actually runs, no upfront costs, no passive server costs, no overprovision or underprovision of compute resources etc).
- bamboozled 8y agoIf you’ve ever used a serverless framework, you’ll know this argument falls apart the second you need to run something for a long period of time, manage complex state or glue services together. There are numerous other details being glossed over. The servless approach has its place just like everything else, it’s not a panacea though.
- rhlsthrm 8y agoEventually, it should be abstracted even further into something that looks like Heroku, but deploys your code onto serverless functions or containers depending on how your service needs to run. A nice, modular, microservice backend automatically with zero config.
- solomatov 8y agoIMO, serverless in the future will be just a kind of resource on k8. k8 is not serverless, k8 is a open source AWS.
