All of this is true, add some serverless to the mix too

Serverless can actually kill & do away with lots of complexity, if used right ... I'm doing a serverless project right now and I love the simplicity of it - no Docker, no Kubernetes, no "Devops", not even managing a server :)

I agree, but tbf serverless is just another hype trend (although it's way better than microservice hype), it's not always useful

It maybe another hype, but it's a hype that delivers results - I'm using it successfully as we speak:

I'm able to build an application that's 99% oblivious of going to have to run "serverless", and then I can (with a handful of simple tweaks) deploy it as a 'serverless' app - that's huge, as it gives me:

  • potentially huge (almost unlimited) scalability

  • not having to manage ANY infrastructure whatsoever - no servers (hence "serverless"), no Docker, no Kubernetes - just forget about "DevOps"

Most "hypes" or "trends" just mean more work and more complexity (looking at you, "microservices") - serverless, from what I can see, really delivers.

Agreed :)
