Comment on Serverless Is An Architectural Handicap (And I'm Tired of Pretending it Isn't)
EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 2 days agoOn the contrary, lots of us write our own scripts and software. And when considering how to self host that software, serverless is a perfectly valid choice.
Just because many self hosters are hobbyists who only use things off the shelf doesn’t make self hosting infrastructure outside the scope of… selfhosting lol

I’ll rephrase it more clearly then. Selfhosting focuses on the hosting aspect of software. !programming@programming.dev focuses on the development aspect of software. This article talks about the architectural decision made during development. It doesn’t talk about how to host serverless. It doesn’t even talk about why you wouldn’t want to selfhost serverless. It talks about bad software patterns the come with serverless. It also talks about the cost of running those things but even that is geared more towards enterprise level devops people.
It might be an interesting read from the software developer perspective but it’s not interesting from the selfhoster perspective, because the article has nothing to do with selfhosting.
