In my opinion this beats the purpose of serverless. Call me a shitty engineer, a hacky dev, I see purpose of serverless to be quick iterations, get your idea out as fast as you can, develop in production mode. The way people did in Google app engine days. I am not sure why people realise it lot of ways the whole serverless infra from a business value standpoint is very similar to Google app engine, which when an orgs growth out of tries to get out of. Building a serious CI/CD or dev stack is waste of precious resource that startups or mid market should not invest.
- jayair 6y agoThe interesting thing is that it lets you develop against your real infrastructure. This speeds up your iteration cycle drastically when compared to the other serverless tools. But I do feel your pain, building a CI/CD for serverless is quite annoying and is a big waste of time for startups. I would not recommend it. And quite frankly serverless as an ecosystem needs to be improved before it can compete with app engine, when it comes to developer experience. We care a great deal about it and that's what we are working on.
