Because tools like lambda are expensive Because it locks us into a cloud provider Because the architectures tend towards function explosion. Think CommonFuntions.java but all the calls are on the network. What could have been 2 containers and rabbitmq has become 50 lambdas and 51 sqs topics Because distributed observability is hard The ESB people became serverless function people and they brought their craziness with them. Im busy cleaning up what should be a fairly simple application but instead it has 300 lambdas. All that said, serverless managed services like databases are useful.
