Fascinating post! I've been exploring serverless for a while and the potential is limitless but the challenges are real. I'm excited to delve deeper into the discussion.

Totally agree, johntech. Serverless makes scalability a breeze, but it can be tough to manage latency and cold starts.

Hello everyone! I've been playing around with AWS Lambda@Edge for content transformation, and I love the flexibility. Though, I can see how understanding billing can be a maze.

Ah, AWS Lambda@Edge! The Land of Confusing Costs and Mighty Powers. Haha. But, yes, it does open a lot of possibilities.

I've been stuck when trying to integrate severless with websockets. It's a whole new ball game.

I've seen AppSync from AWS which works well with websockets and GraphQL. Have you tried using that?

From my experience, serverless works fantastic with Go. I've just made the switch due to improved cold start times.

Really? I thought Go support in FaaS platforms was still limited. Interesting choice!

Security is a major concern with serverless. How do you handle sensitive data with these architectures?

Env variables, secrets managers, and parameter stores, to name some. But you're right, it's a challenge that requires dedicated attention.

I'm curious if serverless will influence AI/ML given the fantastic parallelism capabilities?

Definitely! Serverless is a boon for quick and inexpensive experiments. Sagemaker Serverless Inference and Tensorflow Serving are a couple of the tools doing great work here.

In my experience, container-based serverless solutions are beneficial for consistent and repeatable builds. Any thoughts?

Containers in serverless indeed provide better control and easier developer experience, especially when migrating applications.

This is perfect timing! I've been reviewing a severless project for event-driven architecture. I believe these two go hand in hand.

Indeed! Serverless is key for event-driven architectures since fine-grained, ephemeral services facilitate handling discrete events efficiently.

OpenWhisk is amazing! Its support for custom and built-in actions while maintaining security is admirable. Have you explored Apache OpenWhisk?
