You seem to implying only applications with huge numbers of users can be profitable. This statement ignores a tremendous amount of (typically B2B) applications that provide enormous value for their users but don't see a lot of traffic.
I have worked on applications that are at the core of profitable businesses yet they can go days, in some cases weeks without any usage. Serverless architecture will be a real benefit there once it matures.
- robertlagrant 6y agoI don't think that's necessarily true. Google Cloud functions give you 2 million invocations free a month - that's almost 1 per second. You can keep adding another 2 million for $0.40 at a time. It's not terrible.
