Some days as a web developer I think I must be taking crazy pills. Somebody comes along and says _this is the "modern" way to build websites/apps_, a bunch of early adopters jump on board and act like it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, and then somebody else comes along to say _actually this is the "modern" way to build websites/apps_…and you look at that and it's the exact opposite of the previous "modern" way.
So "serverless" AWS Lambda is evolving into what sounds an awful lot like just another Heroku. OK fine…but in that case what was the point of "serverless" to begin with?!
- detaro 6y agoIMHO, "serverless" pretty much boils down to "per request/actual resource usage pricing" (compared to "per instance" pricing, e.g. Heroku dynos), some patterns enabled by that, and lots of noise around that.
