DevOps in the era of serverless computing
summary
Argues that serverless (FaaS) shifts DevOps from managing servers to orchestrating services and business logic, with concrete tooling and limits: uses Azure Functions and the open source WebJobs SDK, notes a typical five minute timeout for functions and frequent cold start delays, recommends keeping state, queues and APIs around functions to avoid lock‑in, and warns cost can grow with usage — serverless reduces waste but requires new monitoring, CI/CD and operational patterns rather than eliminating ops.
