There are a few qualities that differentiate average from high performing software engineering organisations. I believe that attitude towards the design of code and architecture is one of them. Martin Fowler argues that internal quality of a software system enables new features and improvements to be delivered more sustainably.

Let's talk about the elephant in the room; Serverless doesn't really mean that there are no Software or Hardware servers. It just means that from Software Development perspective, servers are abstracted and outsourced to another entity, so you don't need to worry about it. Serverless systems are still in their infancy.
