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.

      So people know what not to do for selfhosting. Don’t self host in lambdas people. 🤣

      Tbh it speaks volumes that none of the hundreds of containers I run - none of them had this in the instructions “you should use serverless”.

        Who is self-hosting in lambdas? Isn’t the idea of self-hosting to control your infrastructure (preferably including the hardware) ?

          Exactly. Dont use lambdas.
          U can self host on lambdas, u can run personal faas - people don’t do it because servers beat fast any time

        Containers kinda are the opposite of serverless, not surprising they don’t have that in their instructions.
