Yeah, sorry for the LinkedIn post, but from it,

In a short while I will be writing a blog post on how I got to these percentages.

Yes, but I still dont see any point of lambdas.

At the end it generates more costs than just simple autoscaling

The two huge benefits are that you only pay for what you use and you don't need to spend any effort managing it. For my own personal stuff, it makes zero sense to have something running continuously as the number of invocations per week is like less than 10!

The time spent managing stuff can't be understated either. At my prevous job, we used EC2, and involved a fair bit of management: always doing deploys to roll out the latest AMI's with security patches, doing load tests for different trading peaks and working out how many instances we'll need at what size, monitoring the instances during deployments on the chance that an instance might not be brought back in, which would sometimes happen.

My current job, it's 100% serverless. The website, any API's, everything. We never have to think about scaling or patching or load testing. The running costs maybe higher but the actual costs for the teams is less.

My latest project at work was recoding serverless to just ordinary code, because of the costs.

You can always have containers, autoscaling with k8s….
