I have a more of a "what I'm glad I know": we encountered several use cases where we could really benefit from serverless, but we needed some fairly big binaries to be installed as part of the runtime. public cloud offerings didn't give us enough flexibility to do it, so we turned to our own installation of Kubeless as a sort of "roll your own cloud functions". that turned out great - we could roll our own runtime images which contain all the dependencies we need, and the serverless deployment was painless for developers.
It's lead me to realize that this could be representative of the future of serverless - where some organizations that can benefit from rolling their own serverless stack as part of an internal platform; and expanding the DevOps function to take a bigger role in maintaining these internal platform services, letting developers focus on business logic rather than infrastructure, which is exactly the benefit of serverless on the public cloud right now for those with simpler requirements.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
