> In terms of HN sentiment and in being a member of this community for almost a decade, I don't know if I'd say it widely represents most of the dev world as it tends to lean way more open-source and less enterprisey.
They also like to join the latest hype more often than not so that should even out the anti-enterprise sentiment. I don't think serverless is over that point yet.
General opinion regarding the topic: I haven't done serverless in any way yet, but if it's similar to "regular"/other cloud services then in my experience it only makes sense of you're so big that building a scalable infrastructure yourself is too expensive (unless you're Facebook or Google). The other use case is if your load is actually fluctuating a lot, to a point where having enough resources available just to handle the peaks at all time is too expensive.
Whenever you can somewhat predict your load, having your own infra is almost always less expensive (at least here in Europe/Germany).
