I don’t work at a startup, but am working on a startup-like project where we are building a greenfield application that allows law enforcement officers to collaboratively edit reports such as accident reports. The entire API is built on Lambda, S3, and DynamoDB. The experience has been wonderful so far.
We have a large dev team (~12-16 devs) working on the project and our dev account costs are only $100-250/mo. We even deploy each PR to the cloud to run automated tests against. Our production costs have been very manageable too.
Lambda/serverless has been great for us. Our organization is relatively new to building SaaS cloud apps and doesn’t have the most mature devops practices (we’re growing there). Building this app on Lambda and DynamoDB and letting AWS help us with most of the scaling has really been a win for the team.
