> I'm not against serverless solutions per se. I promise. It's just that developers should realize – especially if they are exploring serverless models for the first time – that this technology is not a straight replacement for servers.
Ha. So the name didn't give that away then?
In all seriousness though, I think another avenue for serverless to still explore seriously is declarative application definitions rather than just functions/runtime as a service. Hasura[0] are doing this with GraphQL but I think we'll soon seen (are already seeing?) a surge in these kinds of cloud abstractions that do much more for you than a simple on-demand runtime ever could.
