In recent times, both serverless and container architectures have been widely discussed. So, which one do you think is more efficient? In terms of cost, scalability, and ease of maintenance, which approach would you prefer? Which one seems more sustainable in the long run? I'd be happy to hear about your experiences!
Serverless vs. Container: Which is More Efficient?

But with serverless having so many "cold start" issues, wouldn't it be pretty unreasonable to prefer containers? It feels like serverless performance really drops with a small number of users, right?
I liken serverless to ordering a handyman for home repairs, while containers are like stocking up at a wholesaler. With serverless, you pay only for what you need when you need it, whereas with containers, you're more like a shopkeeper—buying and storing all the materials upfront. The first option has no wasted spend, but the second lets you maximize resource efficiency.
