Seconded. Serverless has the benefits and drawbacks of Microservices: you build and deploy smaller units, at the consequence of having to debug the interconnects between everything, with poor tools.
I'm a fan of OpenFaas: you get the benefits (but not all the drawbacks) of containers and serverless. It's easy to mix and match running 100% locally, or mix-in baked 3rd party components, or running in Kuberenetes or other systems in production. Also, no vendor lock-in.
- big-malloc 6y ago+1 for openfaas. I haven’t used it in production, but the option to run an entirely custom container underneath the function opens up the possibility of running a “proper” application underneath (the use case I’ve been meaning to test is a fully-featured rails app)
