Instant dev environments for cloud-native apps

I develop in the cloud!

Serverless Framework deploys are now less than three seconds. It's almost exactly like `run watch` now!

I deploy to a dev AWS account, then a staging AWS account, and then promote to prod out of github.

That really depends on the size of your app. You also lose the ability to run debuggers. Not to mention how hard is to run serverless java applications, which is the dominant enterprise programming language.

Don't take me wrong, I am a big fun of serverless. We use it in production too. But I also think it does not cover a large percentage of the deployment spectrum, at least for a few years. And serverless can also benefit from tools like Okteto

That's not entirely true anymore. Several third party services offer debugging experiences.

Are there issues running java using serverless? I've worked with a number of enterprises using lambda and java. Seems to be fine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ YMMV

Lambda layers, uploading caching and more make app size a non-issue.
