The New Stack | Why Serverless vs. Kubernetes Isn't a Real Debate

In a recent article, InfluxData IoT Developer Evangelist David Simmons discusses why the debate between serverless and Kubernetes isn't a real one when it comes to choosing the best fit for deployment. He explains that both architectures have their own strengths and weaknesses, with Kubernetes designed for container-based applications but facing ongoing pain points in adoption, while serverless alternatives offer advantages such as scalability and cost-effectiveness. Simmons notes that successfully deploying either architecture depends on knowing when and how to decide which one is best suited for a particular use case, acknowledging that the transition from one architecture to another may not always be a definitive end point, but rather a stepping stone towards new solutions.
