What happens when Amazon rolls back from serverless?
<p>Unless you've been living under a rock recently, the entire serverless world has been shaken when "even Amazon" apparently decided to move away from serverless.</p>
<p>Let's take a deep breath and try to understand things for what they are, not what someone would like them to be. Long story short, more than one month ago Amazon Prime team published a controversial article titled <a href="https://www.primevideotech.com/video-streaming/scaling-up-the-prime-video-audio-video-monitoring-service-and-reducing-costs-by-90" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">"Scaling up the Prime Video audio/video monitoring service and reducing costs by 90%,"</a> where they stated they had to shift to a monolithic architecture to comply with some challenging requirements. We'll deep dive into the article in a few lines, but stay on the title and pretend we have a preliminary understanding.</p>
<p>The article went unnoticed for almost five weeks until the well-established anti-cloud prophet DHH wrote a heartfelt article that ChatGPT could summarize accurately as "I told you so. I was right." I don't know whether Bezos's dog ever bit David's hand in the past or being the father of the Ruby on Rails monolith was just enough to make him resentful. Honestly, I would have expected better balance and a deeper analysis from a highly skilled professional like him than just yelling at the cloud.</p>
