X : Do you think we should be adopting serverless? Me : Nothing to think about. You have no choice. It's not a question of "if" but "when" i.e. adopt now or later. X : It doesn't fit all use cases. Me : There will be a few future niches but vast majority will change.

Serious question: I can think of a *ton* of businesses (especially banking) that would require vast amounts of rearchitecting to fit with serverless now. Do you think it's worth the expenditure needed to do that now? How would you sell that upfront cost with no obvious return?

Zero scalability is a feature outside of HFT, taking a punt sans full cost/risk might actually encourage innovation. I helped a startup finish & put a commodities trading platform into production last year. They made 2 trades but were buzzword compliant before losing funds!

Good engineers, great ex-trader PMs but delusional product owners / funding team who thought bare metal and their own data centres were justified when cloud/serverless was free ...

You'll clearly have to explain this over a beer, as I just can't see how a high-performance, high-volume state machine that needs ordering guarantees and needs to keep state over a period of hours or days fits neatly in a serverless model.

It doesn't... but that's a 2-beer story

No bad at all, just more Billy Connolly standup punchlines due to detours... such as the eejit consultancy 'architects' who tried to sell scrumfall to an 'agile' crew... It was great being paid to eat popcorn ... Ringside seats included!
