Martin Fowler
MARCH 5, 2019
In my recent client engagement, I foresaw that serverless architecture was a perfect fit. The idea of adopting serverless architecture, though, didn’t fly to our client well due to the fear of vendor lock-in. In comparison with a vendor-agnostic system like Kafka, these vendor-specific services will incur a higher migration cost.
