I loved Now 1.0, disappointed in 2.0. It's not accurate that all customer needs of 1.0 can be met. There are size limits deploying to AWS lambdas. Web sockets don't work in lambda. Caching is a different game if your functions can spin up and down often, not to mention no sticky sessions. DB connection limits become more relevant if you have a bunch of endpoints and put them all on their own lambdas since they can't share connections.
There's value in distributed architectures, but there are already lots of ways to add that complexity when you need it. I really liked what Now 1.0 was doing (more user-friendly than hyper.sh), so this makes me somewhat sad.
There are very cheap competitors such as Apex Up for managing AWS lambdas if people want to go that route.
I hope I'm wrong about some of the above and you have plans I'm simply not foreseeing to address these issues.
