Serverless has been around now for several years and it hasn't taken off yet... definitely not to the same degree containers have.

I'm skeptical it will. To adopt serverless you need to be willing to rearchitect your product and retool your developers... that's expensive.



>(Serverless) I'm skeptical it will.

They'd get more uptake if it was easier I think. Not re-architect your product...but small things here and there.

I wanted to play with azure python functions but despite vs enterprise & lots of credits I can't. Without admin rights on local machine it's basically impossible. (Need VSCode & AZ toolkit)

(Unrelated - that kinda blew my mind - no you can't do that in the 2,000 USD VS enterprise...you need to use the free one)

I’m guessing this is because Microsoft wants it to be more accessible—they probably realize that there isn’t much money to be made in $2,000 developer tools. Visual Studio was never a Python IDE; VS Code is much more language-agnostic.


Sure, but the whole "this feature is impossible in our 2000usd suit but its possible in our free one" doesn't seem strange to you?

If I'm buying the top end product I'm expecting full feature set, no?


containers are still relatively new and definetly not as ubiquitous as virtual machines.

Virtual machines are everywhere, from SME to large enterprises, tech hubs, industrial software et al.

Containers are mainly used for modern web and app development.
