It depends too on your workload and how efficient your software is. If you have a bursty or unpredictable workload then you’re buying servers for your peak, and paying for wasted hardware. Every time I’ve done or seen the calculations in those circumstances it never makes sense to buy. Bursting into the cloud comes up, but that’s gets complicated very fast too.

- argd678 8y agoUber has invested heavily in making their own in house serverless system to address these fluctuations too.
