> It’s not just deployment, but provides facilities for sharing code and extracting telemetry from your running apps. We believe that operations should be coupled with development, that developer tools should also be operational tools. For this reason, we’re keen to ensure that telemetry — metrics, logging, analytics, distributed tracing — is built-in from the beginning.

I think this is the most important problem IOPipe is trying to solve. Portability between platforms is a good goal but achievable with some discipline about avoiding the proprietary bits of the platform. Making "serverless" software operable to the same (or better) degree than traditional software deployment is the key.
