Serverless was born with a mission to revolutionize cloud computing but often the more powerful things seem

The more difficulties you have landing

Serverless is no exception **

Pain point 1: manufacturer lock

Whether individual users, or corporate customers

People don’t want to be locked in by the manufacturer and are free to choose their own services and products

However, customers who choose Serverless face higher migration costs

Because Serverless, unlike container technology, does not have an industry standard and common technology framework like K8s, manufacturers are implementing Serverless in a different way

Pain point 2: black box, customer has no control

Serverless shields the operation and maintenance of infrastructure, but also shields the customer’s control over infrastructure from sight and touch

Do you trust yourself more, or do you give it all to the manufacturer? It’s a choice. It’s a belief

Pain point 3: Cost is not easy to control

Serverless reduces costs by reducing your idle resources but it charges differently on request

Customers need to practice to find the best balance between performance and cost

Pain point 4: Too much change in work habits and too many restrictions

Serverless has completely changed the working mode of RESEARCH and development, operation and maintenance. Microservice is to separate huge applications into one microservice. Serverless is to separate applications into one function

It’s like watching magic

It used to be the cards in the hand

It always takes a while to get used to being behind now

Although Serverless has realized the hundred-millisecond startup and capacity expansion at the computing level, it is difficult to achieve the second-level expansion of the entire infrastructure middleware, database and storage, which affects the Serverless core link application

Pain point 5: too new, lack of practice and systematic education

This is the phase that new things go through

There are not many Serverless experts around and the path to system learning is not clear

Unlike other mature technologies there are books, courses, educational institutions

There are plenty of experienced drivers and experienced drivers

Despite all the difficulties, the speed of development is still very fast. Let’s take a look at a foreign data

As you can see, the foreign penetration rate is already very high

Domestic development is also in full swing all kinds of conferences and third-party evaluation frequency Serverless use Serverless customers and scenarios are also more and more

Of course, manufacturers’ Serverless services are constantly upgraded and optimized in terms of performance, functions, experience and price, which is the key to the development of Serverless. For example, Ali Cloud function computing FC and Serverless application engine SAE have done these in the past year

🚴 came ️

All the efforts of the past year are not enough to solve all the pain points but, as long as the direction is right, the trend is accelerating. Serverless’s charm will attract More customers and developers to become the inevitable of cloud computing in the coming year of 🐂. Wish you all a little More you want and a little Less you don’t want ❤️
