You can't even test serverless functions properly because... you need the Amazon/Google server to run them on :)
- KronisLV 4y ago> You can't even test serverless functions properly because... you need the Amazon/Google server to run them on :) This is unfortunate. I know that OpenFaaS and IronFunctions attempted to create a more vendor neutral offering that can run anywhere and still be usable, but neither really got the critical mass of attention/adoption for the large vendors to look in their direction. I'd say it's rather unfortunate, when you compare it with the success of S3, which has many self-hostable (and locally launchable) compatible solutions like MinIO and Zenko. Even managed databases are still often MySQL or PostgreSQL compatible, whereas FaaS doesn't seem to have quite gotten the sort of standardization.
