Unsure about unikernels since they do suffer from inadequate tooling like monitoring, observability, debugability? Docker acquired MirageOS and are precisely doing what with it? I believe u/amirmc has left Docker and the Mirage project?
I'm more optimistic about the direction Cloudflare is taking with Workers [0]: They're simple, easy, capable (esp since Cloudflare now supports upto 10MiB against a single key in its edge KV store), cheap (no additional bandwidth charges), with super nice deployment and release models, coupled with a 100% uptime behind an Anycast IP served by 200+ datacenters. It is astonishing to me how wonderful it really is to work with as I experimented with it just this past week.
Workers can double up nicely as a HTTP(s) API Gateway though lack certain important primitives (like throttling rules, secrets management) out of the box.
If Workers were to ever support TCP/UDP with Bring Your Own App Server, I see it being a game changer, esp in terms of architecting a global scale service.
