Ask HN: Have you shipped anything serious with a “serverless” architecture?

Woah - potential upsides in 8-9 figures ?

So without digging in to who the client is etc, are you saying that serverless architecture is today, validated enough that the AWS bill can be cut by ... what 25%? more?

That sounds like great savings (plus nice fat contractor bills for rewriting as lambda) - but is it a hit for amazon

(I suspect amazon views it as "kill your own babies" survival but am interested in the margin effect on the data centre business - it's twenty years since i touched a business model of a DC)

PS I get the prolongment issue - it sounds sensible in the 20 seconds it was covered in the approval meeting, but not when the details are looked at.

This is a new project, not migration of anything existing. "Upsides" was referring to business value of the project itself, not cost savings of migrating to serverless.
