As a software architect, I hate serverless. Not because it doesn't work, but because it forces design constraints that cripple your application. Here's why always-on servers matter.

      I dunno. Serverless could be useful in niches. But everytime I see it used it is always illeterate frontenders building full website in lambdas

          All I see is react developers building full sites in lambdas in vercel.

          No connection pooling, no way to warm up data, crazy slow sites typically after a single backend call.

          If you use lambdas differently - that’s great.

          Also - ecs is NOT serverless. I have no issues with ecs

              Not someone, absolute majority is my point.
              Just because u happened to use it properly does not mean much. People are strongly confused by serverless and should be advised against it by default.
