Not much. Having a function build pipeline takes a bit of work to get set up, but once it's up and running, and projects are built to depend on it, it takes away a fair bit of ops work. That can help smaller teams become more agile, and being able to walk through a consistent process across multiple products for each step from commit against a dev branch through deployment in production makes it easier to account for team members being away, training new folks, etc. This is especially important for "side projects" or other small services that end up becoming critical infrastructure but are really maintained by one or two team members and only have a couple of internal customers.
