Here's my serverless platform checklist
[ ] Auto-scale. I shouldn't ever have to do things like adding nodes under high load or removing nodes when load is lower.
[ ] Run JavaScript. Great if you support whatever, but I'm going to run JS.
[ ] async/await. That means Node 8 or later.
[ ] Default mapped URLs. If I create a function foo, it should show up by default at `/wherever/foo`
[ ] Continuous integration. I need to test functions from our CI server.
[ ] Continuous deployment. Push when tests pass.
[ ] GET. I want to `GET /foo/14`, not `POST /foo < {id: 14}`
[ ] URL parameters. I should be able to `GET /foo/14`, not `GET /foo?id=14`
[ ] Integrated object database. I want an easy API for doing queries that returns JSON documents. I don't want to manage connections or connection pools.
[ ] Integrated offline queue management. I want to throw data into a processing queue and forget about it. Some other function will handle it. I don't want to have to manage how many queue handler instances there are; that should auto-scale, too.
[ ] Minimal boilerplate. If I'm making an app with 50 functions, I don't want 5 lines of `require` and `initialize(...)` at the beginning of each file. Just the function, please.
[ ] Helm chart to deploy. I want `helm install stable/<your server>` and that's it.
[ ] Configurable authz. I don't want your snowflake auth system; my clients use OAuth 2.0. Make it easy for me to use this, and preferably not with custom code at the beginning of every function.
(It should go without saying that the object database should auto-scale, too.)
