Sigh. "Serverless" is the most ridiculous example of bullshit marketing in recent history. It truly took me a good twenty minutes to understand what it is supposed to represent because I kept thinking, "There HAS to be more to this than vendor-supplied CGI." People make many arguments for designing WITHOUT portability (and cwyers even calls portability "premature optimization"). What they're implicitly stating is that they can't code to abstractions, aren't effective at coding without using edge cases, and require package specific optimizations to barely get acceptable levels of performance. If the edge cases and package specific optimizations weren't considered necessary, there'd be no real case for making something non-portable. The fact that people can even rationalize non-portability boggles the mind. It just seems like a poor attempt at job security or something equally silly.
