Serverless Is An Architectural Handicap (And I'm Tired of Pretending it Isn't)

This person doesn't seem to know you can have both serverless components and servers working together to use whatever is appropriate for different parts of an application?

I dunno. Serverless could be useful in niches. But everytime I see it used it is always illeterate frontenders building full website in lambdas

and I've seen a combination of lambda, event bridge, sqs, and ECS used to great effect. Why should an entire ecosystem of tools be judged because it can be used by "illiterate frontenders"

All I see is react developers building full sites in lambdas in vercel.

No connection pooling, no way to warm up data, crazy slow sites typically after a single backend call.

If you use lambdas differently - that's great.

Also - ecs is NOT serverless. I have no issues with ecs

ECS not being serverless was the point. You're constructing a strawman to say an entire set of tools is useless because someone is using them badly, and that's ignorant at best and actively malicious at worst. And don't think I didn't clock that this article you posted is really an advertisement for whatever this viduli thing is.

Not someone, absolute majority is my point.
Just because u happened to use it properly does not mean much. People are strongly confused by serverless and should be advised against it by default.

You are embarrassing yourself.
