I moderated the Can You Run a Serverless Business panel a few hours ago, and two of the panelists brought that up as an issue, with Jim Louderback of Revision3 (an occasional columnist for GigaOM) saying that at one point he ended up slowing down that company's video delivery because it had relied on too many services located in the cloud, a sentiment echoed by Ethan Kaplan of Warner Music.

It's a shift that may -- and should -- be coming soon to your work as well.
