(no title)

These two have resonated with me deeply.

- Eliminated complex caching workarounds and data pipeline overhead

- Simplified architecture from distributed system to straightforward application

We, as developers/engineers (put whatever title you want), tend to make things complex for no reason sometimes. Not all systems have to follow state-of-the-art best practices. Many times, secure, stable, durable systems outperform these fancy techs and inventions. Don't get me wrong, I love to use all of these technologies and fancy stuff, but sometimes that old, boring, monolithic API running on an EC2 solves 98% of your business problems, so no need to introduce ECS, K8S, Serverless, or whatever.

Anyway, I guess I'm getting old, or I understand the value of a resilient system, and I'm trying to find peace xD.

But when were serverless systems like lambda and cloud workers "best practices" for low latency apis?

According to their marketing material, when they started supporting running in edge pop's, they became the best option for low-latency APIs.
