I am so baffled by this whole discussion. Isn’t serverless (aka event-driven distributed systems made up of small components, with no reserved capacity) just one of many options? I write code for 8-bit controllers that I’d never run on Lambda (even though I’m a Lambda/Step Functions freak). I need 90s server software that can only run in a VM.

It’s a complicated world and your favorite tool/model just isn’t going to cut it everywhere. Move on maybe?
