Microservices Challenges & FaaS

Comment

The greatest benefit of serverless/FaaS is that it solves almost all of above problems:

service discovery: I don't care! I have a function name, that's all I need.
load balancing: I don't care! I know that there will be a function to handle my request (blue/green deployments still an issue though)
retries: It's highly unusual that my request will not proceed as function instances are ephemeral and failing function is immediately replaced with a new instance.
If it happens I can easily send another request. 
In case of failure, it's easy to understand what is the cause.
circuit breaking: Functions are ephemeral and auto-scaled, low possibility of flooding/DoS & cascading failures.
sidecar: calling function is as simple as calling method from cloud provider SDK.
in FaaS setting up persistent connection between two functions defeats the purpose as functions instances are ephemeral.
