  https://serverless.com/ https://serverless.com/ is a layer of abstraction on top of the big providers

    This is the way to go. Follow the guide at https://serverless-stack.com/ https://serverless-stack.com/ and you should be golden. I’m an awful programmer and even I found serverless stack to be surprisingly easy to follow and understand.

  I'm involved with OPS/Nanos which deploy applications as unikernels to AWS && Google Cloud. The deploy and management of them have a very serverless like feel as you can't ssh into them nor can you install random crap on them once they are deployed: I even called them "Stateful Serverless" in a recent article: https://dev.to/eyberg/stateful-serverless-with-unikernels-4ma7 https://dev.to/eyberg/stateful-serverless-with-unikernels-4m... A few cool things versus something like lambda are that they are very much cloud agnostic and they are stateful by default (although very easy to run them as transient workloads as well).

  There are services like Netlify [1] and Zeit.co [2] but both are more expensive. Simplicity comes at a price.

  What makes something like AWS lambda complex? I feel lambda is one of the easiest and fastest way to get something out the door.

  Cloud Run? Pretty simple. Just a Dockerfile and you are good to go.

    You mean Knative (https://github.com/knative https://github.com/knative) ? ;-)
