Mike Fights for Serveless

Sorry guys, you're dead wrong about serverless. I'm struggling to keep my old man rant short but here I go.

Serverless is my goto, I can create code and all I have to do is tell the cloud how to run it, cpu/memory/platform done, that's super powerful. However, like any technology, I understand there are trade-offs for doing that, just like there are many trade-offs for running your own servers(maintenance, availability, etc).

Serverless is a great tool developers should be adding to their toolbox. Serverless is a steep learning curve, but once they do they can decide which is the best platform for what they are trying to do. The key to serverless adaption is the tooling needs to improve to help take away some of the development pain away. As someone who just finished a project using docker containers on an VPS, I was super happy to get back to serverless development.
