> What are you even talking about dude? You don't have to build a rack in a colo to run a non-Serverless app. There's this thing called The Cloud now, and Virtual Machines, and other fancy new technologies from 15 years ago
I think you are miss understanding my comment. I was comparing serverless to colo because that’s essentially what the author was doing. I agree that there are plenty of other cloud compute solutions that work for many workloads.
> There's like 20 other things you need for a functioning product, many of which literally cannot be replaced by Serverless-anything
I totally agree. Serverless is usually just a piece of infrastructure that is combined with other resources like databases, batch clusters, blob storage, vms, etc. I don’t think you’d be able to create a very interesting app using stateless functions alone, though I could be proven wrong ;)
