It was a poorly designed service, for the client-user, from day one; for the Serverless provider it is more large sized revenues genius.
Running a server or a cluster of servers is elementary, kids. Do not believe the cloud hype. There is no need to spend the cloud dollars when a small fraction of ones' cloud expense gets one exponentially more compute. All you need to do is get over the fear that running a server is difficult. it is not.
- eof 5y agoRunning a secure and reliable server is not trivial. Getting one up and running is easy, sure. Keeping it that way with 4 nines of reliability is anything but. Scaling past that one sever is it’s own task. Talking about a cluster being elementary is frankly absurd. I think you might be confusing “got it working!” with “hardened in production.“
- bsenftner 5y agoIt is not trivial, but it is not rocket science either. And as far as that goes, rocket science is not that hard either. It is a skill set that is very much worth developing, which pays itself back exponentially.
- kaetemi 5y agoI feel like a lot of the industry is just trying to be relevant by pretending simple things are difficult, selling buzzword solutions to hide the simplicity.
