Serverless is fine. I always find that people try to shoehorn everything into something trendy for no reason.

Like I use serverless for a handful of async tasks that can run in background. Common things like image resizing, processing data to make metadata tags or something, or some things that I would have originally used Kafka for. With serverless especially if I’m already on aws for example I have access to the whole ecosystem. Once something completes it can just write data to some store. Done. I don’t need to lose my sanity fixing Kafka event failures and other bs.

Core logic goes into monoliths or services. Anything that can be offloaded that’s an atomic operation goes to serverless from either mono or service.
