I have mainly used serverless for lambda deployment. Using it for many years and have no issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing, some more plugins would be good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The open source aspects are useful, but combined with the paid features are lessened. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The billing and pricing model is needlessly complex. My team routinely complains about billing issues that block them from doing their job and I receive no emails or alerts. I lose many hours of productivity and have longer incident resolution time because of this. We are moving off of serverless dashboard because of this and terrible and almost non-existent support.

Serverless technology has received positive reviews for its benefits, such as lower costs, increased scalability, and improved time-to-market for applications. Serverless architecture allows developers to focus on writing code without having to manage infrastructure, leading to increased efficiency and cost savings. Additionally, serverless is highly scalable, allowing for automatic scaling of resources as demand increases, making it well-suited for applications with unpredictable spikes in traffic. Overall, serverless has been well received by the development community and is seen as a valuable tool for modern application development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the biggest drawbacks of serverless technology is its lack of reliability. Because serverless computing relies on the cloud provider to manage the infrastructure, there is always a risk of downtime or other technical issues that could disrupt the service. Additionally, because the cloud provider is responsible for managing the infrastructure, it can be difficult for organizations to monitor and troubleshoot issues when they arise.

Another challenge of serverless is the cost. Although serverless computing can reduce the cost of server maintenance and scale, the cost of running applications in the cloud can quickly add up, especially for organizations that have high traffic volume. Additionally, the cost of serverless computing can be difficult to predict, which can make budgeting for the technology difficult.

Finally, serverless can also be difficult to implement. Because serverless computing is a relatively new technology, there is a shortage of experienced developers who are familiar with the technology. Additionally, because serverless computing is different from traditional cloud computing, organizations may need to invest in training and resources to get up to speed.

Overall, while serverless technology has its benefits, there are also significant challenges that organizations need to consider before jumping in. It may not be the right solution for every organization, and organizations should carefully evaluate their needs and resources before deciding whether to implement serverless computing.

The serverless framework brings a massive amount of features, it's super difficult to handpick a few of them. but I would say the following as very impressive features, those support to all most all the major cloud vendors in the market, direct stack creation via the optimal way (for example utilizing cloud formation stack if it's AWS), open-source community support, multiple language & technology support, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be very frank I love almost all the features, there is nothing that I dislike, But If I want to point out one improvement, they should consider having a more comprehensive project template. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It generates a starter project for in your favourite languages. my case typescript and node. The massively makes it easy for the project to be deployed to aws with a single command creating services that your serverless applications will need like IAM roles, Lambda function, s3 buckets cloud watch log streams all in a very short time.

It works on a very high abstract level that sometimes i worry about what goes on in the background. The documentation is quite vast which would take quite a long time to really understand the nuts on bolts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

allows you to fully leverage the potential of serverless functions from the best public cloud providers without vendor lock-in Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the documentation is not very extensive and often updates require too much configuration work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very well documented framework with great use cases. The ability to manage your application as it sits and link the resources of your hosting provider in a template. Also the community driven architecture really makes anything possible with this solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice to have a new project template built for the CLI. Also learning the taxonomy of another system for templating can be frustrating but isn't too different from the AWS SAM or Ansible template structure in YAML. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
