- steve76 8y agoSome npms require binaries, like jq or sed, and you could have a different glibc.
- k__ 8y agoBecause functions are small self-contained stateless bits of code, they don't need much testing by themselves. You need to test them with the services they are using and replicating your whole cloud infrastructure locally is nearly impossible.
- icebraining 8y agoMaybe they'll tell me I'm wrong, but Netlify strikes me as not targeting people who need a "whole cloud infrastructure" (since they don't offer many services), but a static site with a few simple backend functions.
