serverless is the shake weight of tech.

in all seriousness a very useful and cool tool. thanks for sharing!

i'd have picked a more informative domain; maybe serverless.info?

nice to know that is currently not cost effective for my workload.

- lambda = $3,327.05

- ec2 = $1,1146.24

Serverless is great for all the tiny little things I want to schedule and forget or setup a trigger for and forget. But my type of usage is not going to pay the bills for serverless.

I just don't get why anyone is using stuff like lambda for big projects unless they have extremely unpredictable and extremely spikey traffic.

Because any kind of sustained usage will quickly be cheaper to put on a nano instance and scale up from there.
