As a software architect, I hate serverless. Not because it doesn't work, but because it forces design constraints that cripple your application. Here's why always-on servers matter.

    My app went from a single code base that handles a million different actions to a million code bases that each handle a single action, but they still all depend on each other and still are tightly coupled, but now they’re spread out across 50 disparate cloud services so maintenance effort only got worse.

    Just an ad article. “Did you also encounter skill issues while building web applications? Try my platform.”

    I’m not an architect, but I do dislike how much of development work has AWS wrangling, dealing with the architectural hoops that are mentioned in the article

    When I built Viduli

    And there it is. The reason for the whole article.

      Article exactly describes how I feel about next.js -ers.
      So far none of them was able to explain to me why lack of connection pooling is A good thing. I doubt they even know what that is. If you build a website in server less - you might as well use php because it will beat node.js in raw speed on those conditions and you are handicapping it similarly.

    Nah, anyone that pretends BitTorrent is worse than their server-based thing is just foolish
