yeah the whole "but you need to do maintainance" aspect of using a real server is overblown

OS' are pretty stable these days, and you can containerize on your server to keep environments separate, and duplicate

I guess it just comes with experience, but at the same time, the devops skillsets necessary for dealing with serverless stuff is also totally out of this world. most places I've worked at, marketing hasn't even launched a campaign, there is no product validation about how much traffic you'll get, and you're optimizing for all this scale that's never going to happen

Agreed that existing serverless stacks like lambda are a nightmare. But the real problem is that they don't solve the state management problem. (You need step functions to compose lambdas AND you need a bunch of custom logic for recovery in case lambdas crashes/pause/timeout).

I do hope tomorrow's engineers won't have to learn devops to use the cloud. My team works on what we think is the better way to do serverless, check it out! https://dbos.dev/
