K8s vs serverless for distributed systems

Embrace Flexibility: Choose What Works Best
Exploring the preferences between Kubernetes and serverless computing reveals several insights. The rise of Kubernetes as a default choice in the Go community relates to its historical ties with the ecosystem, especially noted beyond local environments, such as in Manchester. The ease of serverless solutions, where developers focus on writing functions without heavy infrastructure management, presents a compelling option. However, as applications evolve, performance demands often necessitate a deeper look into infrastructure capabilities, which Kubernetes can provide. While serverless functions are effective for many, advanced use cases involving memory allocation, data caching, and inter-service calls may benefit more from Kubernetes, highlighting the importance of choosing the right tool for specific workloads.
