Serverless is back!

In the serverless days with IronWorker, IronMQ, and IronCache, our vision was to build apps without thinking about infra (inspired by App Engine). But then something happened.

100 JS frameworks, 400 cloud services, and Kubernetes all came around, it seemed more complicated than ever.

Now with AI it feels like some of that original vision could become reality because it can choose an AI-native platform and master all the APIs.

An alternate theory is that advancements in infra just push the boundary for what CAN be built further. There are only so many TODO list apps needed in the world.
