You're conflating complex and hard. Cloud functions might be easy, but they are also complex, and there are definitely specifics you need to keep in mind when developing them.
- jupp0r 3y agoThere's a lot of complexity in the stack that makes a web server run. Nobody would suggest designing their own chips to do so. People insist that cloud computing is adding complexity when it often is a useful abstraction that allows companies to concentrate on the stuff that provides business value vs having to deal with lower levels of the stack.
- nailer 3y agoThe sibling post already makes the same point, but I absolutely agree that serverless is specifically less complex than maintaining state for monolithic applications. Individually deploying endpoints in seconds is hugely beneficial. Likewise functional purity is easier to reason about.
