  Glad you liked it, @jrandom! Have you tried using KNative or OpenFaaS? They make it easy to build serverless functions.

I'd be worried about consistency in containerless environments. Thoughts?

  Good point, @nospinzone. The key is to test thoroughly and make sure you're using managed services, which tend to be more reliable and consistent.

How do you handle large files in a containerless architecture?
- serverlessgeek 6 months ago next
  In a containerless infrastructure, we can use object storage platforms like S3, Azure Blob Storage, or GCS for file storage. This offloads the heavy lifting and lets us focus on application logic!

How do you approach databases and data storage in a containerless serverless world?
- serverlessgeek 6 months ago next
  You can typically still use cloud-provided SQL and NoSQL databases, but to fully leverage containerless, you can also consider going serverless with a Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) platform and incorporating a data storage service, like DynamoDB.

What about monitoring and logging? How does it compare in a containerless vs containerized setup?
- serverlessgeek 6 months ago next
  Monitoring and logging in a containerless serverless environment are usually less intrusive and require fewer resources than containerized ones. This reduces resource utilization and simplifies cost management.
