This absolutely kills serverless for me: we are moving into a world where real-time interaction and updates are critical for serving our customers.
HTTP/2, websockets, and SSE bring various benefits. Here are a couple of examples:
- The potential for much improved user experience through greater application responsiveness,
- Delivery of relevant data and insight, as and when it becomes available, without the need for clients to ask for it - again, for us that can deliver a much better user experience.
These are nullified by (current implementations of) serverless.
