Four reasons that Google Cloud Run is better than traditional FaaS offerings by @rseroter seroter.com
Has the “serverless revolution stalled”? I dunno. I like serverless. Taught a popular course about it. But I reviewed and published an article written by Bernard Brode that made that argument, and it sparked a lot of discussion. If we can agree that serverless computing means building an architecture out of managed services that scale to zero—we’re not strictly talking about function-as-a-service—that’s a start. Has this serverless model crossed the chasm from early adopters to an early majority? I don’t think so. And the data shows that usage of FaaS—still a fundamental part of most people’s serverless architecture—has flattened a bit. Why is that? I’m no expert, but I wonder if some of the inherent friction of the 1st generation FaaS gets in the way.
