It's true, "spring cleaning" from time to time can pay back in ways that people don't expect once they clean up months and years worth of additive work on top of something else. I agree that is a big take away.
On per request pricing this is something you can do with Lambda now semi-trivially. You can figure out average Lambda execution cost based on duration of execution and memory you have configured + API-GW related request costs. Depending on your DB you can potentially tie this back as well (harder with some DBs vs. others)
I'd say that while we see cost savings for most serverless platform customers, like an overwhelming amount honestly, we also see companies adopting it for the benefits of time to market, reduced operation burden, and the overall capabilities that they don't need to write themselves. Hard to ROI some of that. While this article did take on a cost based view I'd love to see more folks talk about how these "softer" benefits impact them.
Thanks for your reply!
