Serverless: Cold Start War
I'm still a bit puzzled by the hype around FaaS. It seems like a useful tool for things where you don't want major queuing under pressure, but you can tolerate human perceptible delays. But it also seems easy to build a big ball of mud deeply tied to the nuances of the chosen FaaS provider. It just seems like most use cases are probably going to be just fine with more conventional horizontal scaling techniques.<p>But I think I missing something, so I'd love to hear from someone who can paint this picture for me.
