I liked your thoughts but disagree with the conclusion.
It seems that serverless is cost prohibitive in many scenarios, and requires lots of optimization to be cost effective. So isn't it more of a fault of serverless than a strength of rust?
- gary17the 4y agoI see your point, but it all depends on whether the choice of a particular organizational infrastructure architecture is a priority for you or not. If infrastructure is a priority, (e.g., "we don't really want to hire anyone just to setup/monitor/secure that Linux box with all those REST API server/database processes, thus we prefer serverless), serverless is important and Rust performance is its strength. If infrastructure is not a priority, (e.g., "I was gonna roll out my own VPS anyway, I love this stuff"), serverless is all about its faults and Rust is irrelevant (it is logical to choose an easier PL, e.g., the excellent Golang).
