Cloud is more cost effective the less of it you have because it doesn’t cost 3x more to maintain a kubernetes cluster with thrice the nodes, but it does cost 3x

Cloud is more cost effective the less of it you have because it doesn’t cost 3x more to maintain a kubernetes cluster with thrice the nodes, but it does cost 3x more to rent one. This is even more true for serverless. I can imagine a lot of small apps buy into serverless at a time where it’s legitimately the most cost-effective solution and then they’re stuck because serverless platforms are easy to lock yourself into.
