Since serverless uses AWS primarily. I'm assuming if I put all my eggs in the serverless basket and Amazon has some amazing outage. I'm screwed?

To which I don't understand the appeal of serverless besides having no servers lol.

Hello there! The serverless framework supports a number of different FAAS (function as a service) providers like IBM openwhisk, AWS lambda, & Azure functions from microsoft. See https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/ for more info.

So it's up to you where your code runs =)

And it's still a static web site, so you're only "screwed" in terms of updates. And if you can't wait for Lambda to be restored, either run the script locally or manually hot-fix those static HTML files.
