1. As with "wireless" and "stateless" the term "serverless" is an abstraction. It is not a literal description but rather describes the abstraction. 2. API Gateway abstracts routing and http serialization / deserialization. **Every route is a completely isolated function.** 1/?

really don't want anyone to feel bad and hope I'm not coming across as admonishing. to be specific I'm shitting on this knative narrative and the snake oil its selling.
-
Sorry wasn't accusing you of anything. Just saying I feel the overall "is x serverless?" debate is headed in a direction I've seen before.
-
I do agree the knative narrative is bad. Can we all just switch buzzwords? They can have serverless. And we get "cloud native"

Yeah, my definition of serverless is certainly more expansive than
@brianleroux – because there are use cases that don't always require sub-100ms start times (ie, not web serving) where sub-5-second start times are still super nice compared with alternatives -
I'm ok with serverless just meaning "infra you don't manage that's fast and easy to spin up thousands of processes and billed by usage". The "billed by usage" is the sticky point for storage on "serverless DBs". Seems less serverless if I'm paying for data at rest on servers
-
hard to argue "infra you don't manage" given that is ~the~ cloud talking point… since shared hosting! db: super agree but I also think we'll see a lot of competition in the various persistence offerings in the coming years sand those edges off ;)
-
Well, one still "manages" EC2 instances on the cloud, right? Anyway – yeah, on the DB thing... tricky. I guess if the storage is so cheap when I'm not using it that I don't notice it, then it matters less.
-
yeah its literally pennies at rest and can use S3 Select to get our historic queries costs down to about the same (h/t to
@ewindisch for sharing this idea w me)
