Take serverless, for example. It’s just CGI that scales better. People will see this simple, but powerful approach, and will hopefully return to a transactional webpage programming style (as the Web was intended to be). All the monoliths will be out of fashion again.
- kokokokoko 8y agoI love to joke that cloud functions are just PHP shared hosts that support node, go, etc as opposed to PHP, Perl etc. It is a bit of an exaggeration, of course, but fun to joke about. I agree completely. The tranactional nature of that shared hosting era made hosting an application or website orders of magnitude cheaper and easier and led to an absolute boom of open source solutions like Wordpress. I hope to see some standardization across the serverless ecosystem to allow a similar situation as opposed to the lock-in approach taken by AWS and other cloud platforms.
