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 assume WASM will grow in popularity to ultimately replace containers and an open source serverless platform will emerge that has similar ubiquity to k8s. So far, we have projects like wasmCloud and Fermyon.

      Huh? How would wasm replace containers?
      Wasm will allow writing for web browser in golang and php. Server containers won’t go away

        If WASM+WASI existed in 2008, we wouldn’t have needed to create Docker. That’s how important it is. WebAssembly on the server is the future of computing. - Solomon Hykes (co-founder of Docker)

          Well duh. But now it’s too late. It’s not replacing docker in part because mere execution is not only thing docker does.
