> For the 80% or more, serverless works just fine.
Cite this. I don't believe you. I'm across a pretty broad slice of industry and can only draw on anecdotes from colleagues, but the majority of people with actual hands-on experience are disillusioned and say that the biggest (only?) drive for serverless at this point is top-down organisational pressure created by technically incompetent strategic management that looks to 'thought leaders' and Gartner to tell them what technologies to use.
if serverless works for 80%, then why is that 80% not even remotely reflected in the sentiment here? HN is usually a pretty good gauge for how the wider engineering community feels about a particular technology.
