You know what I actually like Serverless (AWS Lambda) for?
Adding a script that is triggered upon a new message to an SQS queue. The cost in using AWS Lambda is actually in the use of API Gateway, and it doesn't use that, as well.
Now, you're right, I didn't find this from any thought leaders, etc. In fact, I would disregard anyone who couldn't give me a concrete use-case and a cost/benefit overview for a technology. I have met a few executives that more or less were trojan horse leaders for other companies' technologies. Salesforce rings a bell.
