It's great to see so many functions platform - in some ways it shows there's increasing interest, awareness, and adoption. The field is still quite young and there will be a lot of experimentation and exploration.

There's also a difference between deploying rapidly for local development (less is better) and actually running a functions platform at scale. AWS lambda reportedly handles over 2B lambdas a day (this was a year ago).

Not every platform needs that kind of scale, but it does put things in perspectives.

Hi there!

Thanks for the encouragement. To be fair we at 1backend don't consider the field that new at all. It's just the old PaaS concept with some twists and reworded marketing!

I personally spent years building microservices platforms at various places and after years of not implementing my insights I decided now the time is right and people might adopt it given the current hype cycle =)

Kudos.

I'd agree, old ideas, new contexts. The twists matter.
