Who Needs Serverless?
summary
Motion: ten years from now most newly created billion-dollar companies are entirely serverless. The panel debates concrete tradeoffs: AWS Lambda and Fargate vs. on‑prem hardware for HFT, Kubernetes/knative for on‑prem serverless, and OCI Functions, Snowflake and Databricks for managed state. Timeline claims: Lambda is ~4 years old, AWS ~12; audience polling shifts from mixed to a clear vote against the proposition. Consensus: serverless grows but cannot cover every workload or replace all long‑lived state and specialized hardware.
