    And “serverless” functions are a trap.

    How are serverless functions a trap? They seem like a great cheap option for simple CRUD / client > server > db apps (what most apps end up being).

      Anything that is “cheap” to do on serverless is cheaper to do on a $5 droplet, especially once it starts to grow.

      Serverless gets you to buy in to a vendors lock-in.

        Interesting, I’ll check out droplets, but in my experience with Azure Functions there’s not much vendor lock in. My API was just a normal Node.js / express server, the only part that was locked in to Azure Functions was the format for the endpoint definitions, but those can be adjusted in like an hour’s worth of time to anything else
