Highly dependent on your stack but there are plenty of free tiers for most serverless services. E.g. if you're willing to write everything in JS/TS then Vercel is a great option. (Kind of relevant to your post about adapting architecture to cost)
- smt88 3y agoThe problem with serverless is that the failure mode for traffic spikes is either "shockingly high bill" or "stops serving requests". For high, sustained load, a running server is always cheaper, the cost is predictable, and the failure mode is usually "serving requests much more slowly".

- smt88 3y agoIt's not that hard to accidentally have a huge bill if you get overloaded with requests.
