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’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.
