Then again if you're aiming at high growth, you'll be looking at some degree of re-architecting at least every few years anyway to cope with the 10x system problem.

If using FaaS can be a quick bandaid solution to get you up and running without worrying about having to design your own equivalent of the fail whale, then a certain degree of lock-in might be worth paying.

A couple of years down the road, however, will give you both personnel and money to handle a re-architecture.

FAAS (Or, MSA) adds a ton of complexity right off the bat. Why take on that risk when you have little money and less time?
