"the fork was very very bad for eating soup - this is a story about how we migrated to a spoon"

...firecracker does fine what it was designed to - short running fast start workloads.

(oh, and the article starts by slightly misusing a bunch of technical terms, firecracker's not technically a hypervisor per se)

..so is it more to support directly deploying functions to the cloud? Like, what AWS Lambda and CloudFront Functions might be built on?

EDIT: Okay, https://www.geekwire.com/2018/firecracker-amazon-web-service... says my "pretty sure" memory is in fact correct.
