| > It’s fiction that configuring the cloud is easier than configuring a computer. We're arguing opinions and trying to apply logic. Some people find lambda easier and it must be true that lambda fits certain workloads better. Some people prefer VMs or on-prem or other long-running services. I prefer both in different cases. > The worst problem is the giant pile of cloud spaghetti you end up with and no one has any idea what connects to what and what depends on what. Yes, it takes discipline to use the best tool for the job. "You should do X for everyting" is not the right approach, however.
This argument is moot. Right now I support: * Lambdas for some very expensive infrequent number crunching * Lambda-like on edge for fast response services that require low latency * VMs for always-on services * Computer in a closet for backups, logging, metrics, etc. |
