Migrated my app to serverless backend
Hey everyone. I am working on Savory which helps you save and organize your bookmarks and references and manage your reading list. I wrote the first blogpost on Savory's blog about our experience migrating its backend to MongoDB Realm Functions—a new serverless platform.

Would love to hear your thoughts and comments.
You can check out Savory itself at https://getsavory.co/ though I am in middle of updating copy and screenshots.
Interesting read.
I would try to stay away from vendor lock-in services such as MongoDB Realm (as you point out).
An alternative I like is GCP Cloud Run which host a Dockerfile where you can run any HTTP server.
This is good for two reasons:
Downside is that Docker can be unnecessary for some developers to learn.
Yep. That sounds about right. AWS Lambda also recently announced support for running containers so looks like cloud providers are headed in the same direction.
Agreed but I think the bump is worth it.
