Summary

Serverless adoption is gaining momentum, but it still faces significant challenges in terms of organizational and technical hurdles. The industry is experiencing a competitive landscape with varying capabilities between cloud vendors, leading to inflated expectations and potential disillusionment. The biggest challenges include dealing with larger file sizes, SQL database support, network, compute, storage, and governance issues. Despite these challenges, serverless has the potential to revolutionize the way applications are built and deployed, with innovations like Deno, a new experimental JavaScript runtime, offering exciting possibilities for serverless web development. The key to success lies in overcoming the myths surrounding lock-in and finding ways to make onboarding easier.
