Serverless myths debunked for modern cloud teams: In this episode, we dive into the second part of Chapter 13 The Serverless First Edge from The Value Flywheel Effect book. We explore common serverless myths, how relevant they still are in 2025, and what’s changed since the early days of serverless adoption.
From cold starts and testing challenges to cloud lock-in and the rise of AI, we reflect on the evolution of the landscape — and the mindset shifts still needed across engineering and leadership teams.
💥 Packed with practical insights and real-world experiences, this is a must-watch for anyone navigating modern cloud architecture, serverless patterns, or leading engineering teams in the age of AI.
