>IaaS
>Costs sometimes literally 80 times as much as setting up your own server
>had a massive explosion of popularity
And before anyone cries me a river about hurr durr 80 times is a lie. Look at AWS costs vs renting a couple of servers yourself and having your IT department deal with them.
Infrastructure as a service is literally a bubble and will pop eventually.

Nope, it continues to grow. You're a dumb monkey. Server as a service isnt just replacing your basic bitch server it guys, its replacing the entire product/hardware procurement department, server security specialists, basically a huge swathe of people that you would have to not only hire upfront but also compete against other companies from poaching them. From a business perspective specialization like this means you dont have to compete for golden boy employees and that hiring process alone is probably tens of thousands of dollars spent per candidate alone

Webrtc its real.

Most of the efforts of 'serverless architecture' (read 'cloud' computing) are driven by economics. There is some social, and ethical value in such related architecture, but it's not the main driving force. I assume your question relates to financial utility, specifically employability. How you wish to approach your career in this field will be based on your present set of values shaped by previous experience and understanding. If you want to go into technical detail, I can. If you want career advice, I can offer what I have and I encourage you to do your own research - that skill and discipline will have lifelong utility,

I guess you sacrifice your own HR culture for that of someone else's, namely your service provider.

>200TB AWS3 costs you literally $105,052/yr
>That's only pure storage cost
>At 20% data downloaded per month
>At 80% you're literally looking at $237,763/yr
>20% 40TB AWS3 costs you $21,010/yr
>hurr durr it continues to grow just like my terminal brain tumour no way it's a bubble hurrrr it will take over everything

I host a website on Netlify for a whopping $0 a month so I reckon it's pretty good. It really all depends on what service you're looking for and in what capacity.

How are you and your 4 visitors enjoying the site?

Why the fuck would you have 200TB on a fucking S3?
Why in the FUCK would you EVER need to download 80% of that every month.
Your scenario is absolutely retarded because no one uses S3s for mass storage.
It's mostly used for host websites, APIs and other services for which it is way cheaper then getting your own server.

>no one uses S3s for mass storage
You keep telling yourself that. The normies using AWS are the normies making it so extremely profitable by using it as mass storage. And even Amazons other alternatives are still ridiculously overpriced. IaaS is a shit meme destined to die.

Ok, retard.
It's not an issue with S3 but users wasting money by using it for shit it wasnt intended for.

>Why the fuck would you have 200TB on a fucking S3?
Ingestion and storage of medical imaging files for ML training
>Why in the FUCK would you EVER need to download 80% of that every month.
To parse the files and run them against the ML program

there, answered your q.

Wow, I hope this isn't true. I do exactly this and would never dream of storing every image in a hot access volume. I mean the binary will be piped one way or another, just move that shit in streams. There's no reason to have a central access point other than stupidity.

Also, the performance will be better piping in streams within a network

You need to ingest imaging information from thousands of sources - the infrastructure to support all of that happening outside of async batch would be equally astronomical. the sources require a HIPAA compliant, audit-able store. You need to have cataloging, manage different states of the same image (you get dupes from sources when a doctor changes contrast, for example), you need to partition and flag which images have been used for the ML training vs which ones you want to use in FDA testing, etc.

The images won't live there forever, and either after being flagged as an FDA test case or processing will get thrown in cold storage, but for practical reasons having S3 as the ingestion point makes the lives of everyone involved easier and the cost is not prohibitive or particularly problematic.

based image

Oh I forgot to add, doctors on staff also go through ingested images and catagorize/flag them to help with the ML training. So, you have a "user facing" app that has to serve a random sample of that data and capture the metadata responses, and then use those to grade the performance of the ML algo. Can't do that if the images are in cold storage.

Serverless is hot now, but I would say that selling least square approximation as "AI", and other shit "Data" "Scientists" are doing, is the top meme tier ever.

data science is the biggest meme of the 21st century, it's a fucking scam

He's missing a gaming chair

You forgot the replace the headphones with HD600s

The cloud isn't a meme for certain use cases. It's just another tool in IT infrastructure options that is often misused or applied unnecessarily.

Pretty much.

More screens pls

>tool
That's a very generous claim.

Isn't serverless just hosted /bin-cgi?

The problem is people who want to maintain the server leave it on all default settings and will never monitor for security nor performance. We have to take it away from you people youre not responsible enough.

Its mostly just using a CDN and not literally javing the CEOs son spin up servers in his bedroom

The main IaaS vendors are a meme and you know it. The corps that can shrug off all that cash have so much money that they make real deals with IBM with an actual SLA. Usually lease a data center off them and put it in their premise.
In fact, Google and AWS give startups a shitton of credit so they can get locked into their ecosystem.

damn Jeff upgraded his set up. I remember another pic where he only had one monitor

What monitor is that?

Specs on the monitor?

What is he coding there?

Kubernetes?

Which one?

ofc it's a bubble but if someone it's willing to pay me 150k/year for some lines of javascript i'd very much appreciate it

Yes, I believe it is. When you look at web3 - IE blockchain web models - or safe web models, it's like some shit head from 1999 who never got over P2P is trying to tell us limewire is the way to go.
It's a fucking crock of shit
pied piper is about as realistic as a guy who tells you his cock is 15 inches long and his 50 pound balls are made of titanium

What monitor is that? Yes I’ve seen the original, still never got a model out of it.

>Why the fuck would you have 200TB on a fucking S3?
Why people use windows?
Total cost of ownership is real. Usually, hire pajeet who cobbles the thing together with S3, and then fire him, keep things on autopilot. Migration to own infra would be huge upfront cost and most importantly, uncertain risk, going forward.

This can go to such extremes like Vid.me - where S3 costs actually ruined the company. If they rented out bunch of serves, they could easily operated at 1/10th the budget, but also pay nontrivial amount to a sperg to keep it all together. They rather closed the shop than find and trust a single BOFH to fix their shit.

I'm not as familiar with AWS as I am with Azure. But Azure BLOB storage is sincerely cheap.

>serverless
>really just a different server
what a bunch of retards
marketers should be shot

Most P2P memes just suffer from being utterly naive designs, courtesy of retards who think "DHT and blockchains" are some sort of buzzwordy magical pixie dust. Out of shit out there, only Tor, BitTorrent and Bitcoin are worth any salt, and even those remain relatively obscure as there's simply not much of a market for it.

Just like the big 3 above, all it takes is one sperg who actually has some skill in UX design, economics and network topology. A rare combination, but all you need is one. But first there must be market hole open for it - ie normies fed up with facebook et al to such an extent they'd be willing to abandon walled gardens.
