What about cold starts, debugging and runaway expenses?

Since the technology is based on knative, it should in theory be possible to run these on a local k8s instance. It would support some debugging use cases.

I do agree as far as cold starts and runaway expenses go, although those issues seem inherent with FaaS.

For expenses, it would be nice if there was a way to automatically shut off or throttle traffic after $X a month.

The biggest issue isn’t being able to run locally, it’s getting access to systems where an unexpected error is happening in production that didn’t happen in dev.
