Sure, let me explain my way of thought. I think it’s time to get off of the bandwagon „it’s someone else’s computer”. Sure, internet services don’t live in the void and there’s always a server out there. Are the end of the day, three things in life are for certain: taxes, death, and there is a server.

However, with Cloudflare specifically, you write apps that deal with individual requests. You, as a dev, never ever get exposed to a server. This abstraction goes way further than even AWS Lambda goes. There are no local caches, no temp directories, no mucking around with a shutdown of a function. Every instance of an app deals with exactly one request.

That’s what I mean by „their serverless world”.



Thanks!
