Like the thought leadership. However predicting costs in Serverless environments can be a challenge. Infrastructure costs, even if elastic are more predictable. Thoughts on how to project spend or determining compute resources per function ?
Very very true. Cost of compute is already published per cloud provider. For example, on AWS, it's currently first 1M is free. After that it's a million per $.20. At some point of volume depending on your use case there's going to be an inflection of just running your own container or VM. The bigger challenge here is tracking and understanding your usage as it pertains to your application, beyond the compute resources on a per call basis. We're intending on building governance and metering for infrastructure usage as part of our orchestration solution to help shed light on this area.
Don’t worry about the OS, focus on your App - interesting take on API's
Thanks! We think what we've built can potentially give you the best of both worlds. No one is going pigeonhole your entire API solution into just serverless infrastructure. But a portion of it can be and should be if you want the most efficient cost of compute and manageability.
