I will correct your factual inaccuracies rather than the name-calling Jamal.

Correction #1: According to the Wikipedia definition of “serverless”, Google App Engine is a first class citizen. Feels like you might be mistaking FaaS as being the only form of “serverless”.

Correction #2: App Engine pre-dates Amazon’s earliest serverless offering by at least 4 years, even if you count Elastic Beanstalk as “serverless” (tough call that one, even by their own definition on Wikipedia).

I can confirm to the objective folks out there that Google did not (does not) pay us for our opinions, though I’m sure this article will be well received. Google were a paying customer of ours a few years ago, we did some internal bridge work on Maps a while back.

So first, you are clueless about the term “serverless” and are probably using it for SEO purpose and get cheap clicks to your article. App Engine and serverless? How are the even related? You are jumping from topic to topic, making no sense and throwing out terms and giving false timelines.

Gracious, sorry I upset you buddy. You’re not in infrastructure by any chance?

The article got reposted by the NY Observer. I’m sure they wouldn’t do that if they considered it beneath them.

I will say it with utmost respect.

Not feeling the respect there Jamal buddy ;)
