Podman is buggy and terrible..... devs should make better applications or optimize. Most apps require a database which ends up being a bottleneck because they dont scale like applications
Discussion
may be.
however not all applications are the same. Sometimes you need just functions, serverless or similar.
I wrote apps based on kappa architecture which scale very well (processing and serving tbs of same data for different purposes and apps)
Particulary when you can simply just add processors/functions without any server configurations.
