I'm ignorant

How does a build trigger the serverless function to notify all of you? I kind of assume serverless means it activates on a timer or when you visit a specific URL. So a build script executes it by visiting a URL when it's finished? And the script executes from any internet connected machine?

Why is it better than having a VPS? I currently use a VPS for a few one off scripts. Cron does the timer ones and the URL ones are entries in a nginx config file. Actually that's half true I actually config an app I wrote to do it cause I didn't want to bother finding out how to do shellexecute on nginx

That's how we do things at work. If we need to change a class function we outright copy/paste it then change what we need. This is so everything is backwards compatible. A bug in one version might be expected or documented in a previous. We can't fix the bug in an older version unless we get the OK from our clients because they might be depending/expecting it for their code to run correctly

It's a good system. You shouldn't complain. And deleting code is easy since not everything depends on everything

Are you writing an OS?

I'm pretty sure the linux kernel compiled is < 350mb. Debian net install is less than this
