Okay I've added a "like" to this post - and where you said:
"The need to set up k8s for every blog post and stuff like that seems to only benefit major cloud providers ..."
... my reaction was YES - the notion that we all need to become DevOps and Kubernetes experts, and that every dev needs to learn it because yeah, it's important that everyone has the skills to build an auto-scaling application platform from scratch ... is pretty ridiculous in my book :)
But where you lost me is:
"This narrative that you have to go serverless because it is cheaper and no server to manage is one huge lie"
No it's not a lie, it's a new paradigm, and for me it makes much more sense than something like Kubernetes - not for EVERY use case, but for quite a few it does.
And then you lost me again when you said:
"Now you have to manage serverless infrastructure"
No, that's the point - with serverless you don't manage your infrastucture ... you don't rent a VPS, install images, install MySQL/Nginx/whatever ... again, I'm not saying that one needs to choose "serverless" for EVERY project, but I'm convinced it's a game changer.
