Limits to serverless computing

So far, I have talked about many things regarding serverless computing. Let's look at the drawbacks of serverless computing as well.

Serverless architecture has its limits as well and it is very important to realize the drawbacks to implementing serverless applications along with recognizing when to use serverless computing and how to implement it so that you will be able to address these concerns ahead of time. Some of these limits include:

• Infrastructure control
• Long running application
• Vendor lock-in
• Cold start
• Shared infrastructure
• Server optimizations is a thing of past
• Limited number of testing tools

We will look at the options for addressing some of these issues in the following sections.
