I was pretty excited by Lambda initially, but I gave up on it for some of the reasons the author talks about. Google Cloud Run actually achieves what I want from serverless: I never have to think about the number of servers and can pay for less than one instance during low-traffic periods, but I could migrate my app elsewhere easily if I wanted.
- wpietri 5y agoOoh, interesting! Is there a name for this slice of "serverless"? I'm glad to hear there's a pony in here somewhere.
- gunnarmorling 5y ago"Container-based Serverless" is the commonly used term for the general concept I think, with Knative being the key representative.
