That said... I'm not actually a big fan of serverless - from my experience with AWS Lambda you're just tying yourself into another vendor in most cases, by virtue of gluing together your Lambdas / state machines (step functions) using proprietary AWS infra - Kinesis, SQS, DynamoDB events. This stuff will be the Oracle legacy systems of the future.Comment
