    see so many trends come and go

    It’s interesting how things are cyclical. Serverless functions remind me of cgi-bin scripts.

      Yep, it’s usually an existing idea with progression in a few areas. You could definitely achieve serverless with a cluster of servers hosting the same scripts in cgi-bin and I think that context helps to put it into perspective.

        I feel like I should start a “serverless” startup that’s just Apache running in a Kubernetes cluster with a bunch of cgi-bin scripts in a Ceph cluster. Boom, serverless with high availability.

          If you only focus on the concept of a serverless function and forego 99% of the other stuff, yeah 😛
