aka "we were close to the precipice, but we made a big step forward" Personally, I expect baremetal to be "rediscovered" in a few year after being given a fancy name like "cloudless". "serverless" just means distributed programs, which implies it own limits, including latency and costs (compared to running on baremetal without any need to adjust to costs) that are often unpredictable, and that carry consequences on the linked accounts. Project have limited budget. I once received a bill of several thousands of dollars from my hosting company, after a mistake I had made that had costed a lot of bandwidth. One call and it was cleared. If it hadn't been possible, it was an important partnership, but not one that would have been inseverable. With google, I fear I would have costed me to be locked out of gmail or something like this.
