Your own lack of knowledge about how to make the cloud work properly doesn't mean it's completely useless. The "old school" knowledge is still very useful in building and troubleshooting cloud-based infrastructure. You're creating a false dichotomy.
- ok123456 5y agoIt doesn't sound like the "cloud" is working for anyone right now innit?
- gtirloni 5y agoYou're just trolling. "The cloud" doesn't exist as a single entity. I'm sure people in other various AWS regions, all GCP, all Azure, all DigitalOcean is working just fine.
- gerbilly 5y agoFalse dichotomy, if you say so. I haven't found it too helpful when dealing with AWS and the serverless trend, whose popularity is really just based on price and economics, not technical superiority. Serverless turns every simple system into a distributed system with the number of failure modes now multiplied by ten. That sounds like fun. I do know how to use serverless for the record, I just think it's an overhyped, overpriced waste of time.
- gtirloni 5y agoYou just moved the goal post from "the cloud" to "serveless". Anyway, this discussion is full of overgeneralizations that are not useful. I'm abstaining from further comments.
- gerbilly 5y agoI'm not moving anything, just augmenting my point. Reread my comment and do s/serverless/cloud/ if you want, I still stand behind it either way.
