What? I thought that was just the opposite. The advantage of serverless is that I pay AWS to make backups so I don't have to. I mean under time pressure if it do it myself I'll skip making backups, setting permissions perfectly, and making sure I can actually restore those backups. If I go with a microservice, the whole point is they already do those things for me. No?
- jamil7 6y agoWhat does serverless have to do with making backups? Any managed database can do this for you. Microservices attempt to facilitate multiple teams working on a system independently. They’re mostly solving human problems not technical. The grandparent comments point is a single person or team can deploy a monolith on herkou and avoid a huge amount of complexity. Especially in the beginning.
- ozorOzora 6y agoI'm pretty sure the advantage of serverless is that you can use microservices for your MVPs. The gains for a one-man team might not be ovious, but I like to believe that once a project needs scaling it is not as painful as tearing down the monolith.
