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
*illiterate
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.
