The most astounding stat from AWS this past week is that nearly half of new apps built inside Amazon were deployed to AWS Lambda in 2020.
Half.
That is dogfooding on a massive scale and is setting the stage for an entire generation of "serverless developers".

If you take what Amazon has done historically with their tech, they dogfood it first and expose it as a service second. This also applies to non-tech like their last mile shipping capabilities offered to marketplace customers.
There is a pattern here and if history is any guide the pattern for the majority of cloud computing in the coming years will be serverless.
That presents an enormous opportunity given the expansion of the definition of what a "developer" is, what they do, the tools they need...

Serverless has been around for a little over 6 years now, so for many devs, ephemeral compute and the concept of metered pricing at the millisecond level is not new, but for the herd of enterprises it is.
I'd argue we are still very early for serverless at enterprise scale (meaning > 90% of F500 companies use it) but considering 1 of the largest companies on Earth is adopting it at such a breakneck pace, it appears we'll get there faster than we did w/containers and certainly VMs
