I was baffled, bemused even, by the article's premise that anyone rational ever thought serverless was going to take over the software world. It's a tool for solving a certain niche problem, not a general replacement for the vast majority of software we run. It's quite a good example of both the potential benefits and the potential difficulties of working in the cloud. Whenever I read these articles, I always wonder what proportion of tech buzzwords from the past decade are just obscure ways of saying "someone else's servers", "automation" and "unnecessarily complicated architecture".

The way people talk about it, I certainly get the impression that a lot of people think that way. But I agree with you in full otherwise - there is no way that Lambda is going to completely usurp all forms of computing in the cloud.
