Serverless: Somebody else's server

• scarface74 7y ago
  No, and this is why we have a bunch of old school Net ops guys who pass one certification, call themselves “cloud consultants”, do a bunch of lift and shifts and leave clients paying more than just using a colo.

    Serverless is an architectural and design strategy. Run away from anyone that claims EC2 is serverless. You can't lift and shift to serverless... Period. The design choices are almost always breaking changes.

  I would argue a better description is -- Serverless: abstracted services that don't require you to know or care about the underlying server. It's still not perfect, sometimes you do need/want to know/care, but it's usually superficial -- e.g. what libraries are installed by default so I can optimize the build.
