I'm impressed with latest from Azure. Seems to be catching up quickly. Agreed GCF has a ways to go.

Indeed it is. But can one build a serverless app on Lambda and easily move it to Azure functions? Or vice versa?

There are people trying to make that a reality, but I don't think it matters. Real value is in the other services + event triggers.

Some value wrt business continuity but otherwise I agree. Same applies to database "portability".
