Does anybody know of any hosting companies with serverless platforms like AWS Lambda that aren't Amazon, Google, Microsoft, or IBM? #serverless
@nobody like heroku or digital ocean or something else?
@gemlog Maybe? Heroku sounds like it, but also as if Amazon stole their idea and ran with it. I'm still just learning about lambda and the idea of billing per microsecond of execution seems great but also like it should be relatively easy to implement with parts that are already written by other people (like the kubeless and fission.io projects that I was reading up on during lunch). I will go learn more about heroku now and see if my initial impression is close. Thanks!
@nobody What do you want to do with it?
@gemlog Just experiment. I'm not really worried about costs since I have a pretty big on-prem environment I can use, I just want to try porting some small .net and j2ee apps to stateless functions in either js or Go and see how well they work or don't across different providers and learn about how to implement different privilege levels in that style of application.
@nobody I don't understand the appeal of Go really. Mind you, at my age it would take a lot of appeal to give me the ambition to learn yet-another-language ;-)
