Not sure yet I like how aws does this but I started to think that serverless and microservices are about state after all. It is about ephemeral apps that hold only the bare minutes state. For instance you don’t need user management as identity is better when decoupled into another service. A lot of it sounds like Unix philosophy as in one good tool for one job. HashiCorp YouTube videos explain a lot of those ideas quite nicely. In this world stuff like aws lambda makes sense. However you can build your own lambda and deploy as a container service. So again not exactly sure if aws is doing things right, but the concepts make sense. Apps as functions.



except unix pipes don't often deal with at-least-once delivery, service limits, role and policy management and runtime deprecations


Nevermind that a network is way less reliable than a computer's memory or even disk drive.
