Surely there is a lot of workload is delay-able, but there is equal, if not more, amount of workload that do not have the luxury of waiting. Is it fair to say the serverless platform has no advantage for the latter workload?
Yeah, you can't do synchronous stuff on it, like you would say lambda, or what ever google calls theirs. I think calling it serverless is probably confusing to a lot of the outside world, as to them serverless is cgi-bin for the docker generation.
this form of serverless is very much batch jobs with some modern bits sprinkled in.
perhaps they should have called it serverless batch, or Batch-as-a-service, async-serverless or serverless-futures.
