People often ask me if developing for the cloud is any different from developing on-premises software. The biggest difference between developing for the cloud and developing on-premises software is that in the cloud, you have much better access to how your customers are using your services.

Firecracker is the virtual machine monitor (VMM) that powers AWS Lambda and AWS Fargate, and has been used in production at AWS since 2018. The first version of AWS Lambda was built using Linux containers. All of the existing approaches we just examined involve trade-offs that AWS didn’t want to make.

It’s clear to see that if you haven’t mastered software at scale to become as responsive and adaptive to customer needs as the digital-natives, then your bottom line is trouble.
