Same experience with Firebase. I just joined a team that has been using it. I've never worked with serverless before, and it boggles my mind how anyone thought it would be a good idea.
The cold starts are horrendous. In one case, it's consistently taking about 7 seconds to return ~10K of data. I investigated the actual runtime of the function and it completes in about 20ms, so the only real bottleneck is the fucking cold start.
