Corey Quinn, Last Week in AWS | ServerlessConf 2018
summary
Discussion argues serverless moves from toy to production, highlights a real-world adoption split between cautious pilot projects and full rewrites, and names concrete pitfalls: the AWS console already lists 130 services, function resource and concurrency caps that change quarterly, and developer friction from slow CI versus 10‑second deploy cycles. Notes dangerous DIY patterns like running Greengrass inside containers to emulate Lambda, and recommends running functions in-cloud rather than faking runtimes locally.
