I think it may actually be a limitation introduced by the communications design at the PDS code level. If they were to make it more friendly towards caching and more friendly towards long periods of inactivity, you could probably make serverless work.

The complexity of using k8s is less than running a cluster. I believe a lot people accusing k8s of complexity are often mixing these up.

It’s more common to see new things built with this paradigm than it is to see old things transformed. It’s also far more common to see new things using other frameworks than .NET, at least in my experience
