Wasn't the point of serverless to reduce complexity?
- pixl97 6y agoIt turns out that complexity is very hard to reduce.
- ByteJockey 6y agoComplexity always exists. Sometimes it just exists in the interactions between what you think of as your application pieces (most often the case with microservices and lambda architectures). That being said, it's always possible to add a bit more complexity if you're not careful.
- lrem 6y agoWell, sure. But you can outsource it pretty successfully in many cases. Absorbing someone else's complexity is what my job in Google is about.
- jacobsenscott 6y agoIt is complex, but it makes things simpler. Kind of like Chrome is way more complex than netcat'ing html, but it makes browsing the web way simpler.
