Whether it's serverless of not choice of hardware is very important.
For an simple web app, you might not need special CPU and Memory requirements.
But for a video encoding/decoding serverless app may needs different CPU/Memory requirements (and GPU).
That's what this `slot` configuration property does.
The default is good enough for all the general purpose apps. But if you need more, you can control it.
- danpalmer 8y agoI agree that one-size-fits-all doesn't work with hardware requirements, but I still think this is a leaky abstraction. The promise of Serverless is not having to care about servers, but this is an option to specifically control that. A better abstraction would auto-optimise hardware spec for the software's performance characteristics - that would be much more "serverless".
