Saw this with an infamous 996 AI startup where the founders vibe coded their app. Their app had like 3 or 4 pages, that was all, but every endpoint was a Lambda call. Every frontend log entry was a Lambda call. Every job execution was a Lambda call that called a dozen others. That was their idea of an architecture. Even with <100 customers they were already paying >100k dollars a month on cloud, more than their entire dev team cost. The constant firefighting, downtimes and billing issues were enough to keep the team busy instead of making new features. I was freelancing but I didn't take the job after the "CTO" gave me a tour.
