It's not.

If under 10 million requests per month, serverless will be cheaper and safer

Else if under 1 billion request per month, managed VPS will be cheaper

If over hundred of billions of requests per month, anything else than on premise is probably an error.

Then you have grey areas where you need to process.

But for most small project, you cannot beat the lambda prices. Especially if you expect bursts.

I cannot cite 12 men who technically inflenced the history of computer science.

Top of mind, I have Alan Turing, Dennis Richie, Bjarne Sroustrup, Richard Stallman and Linus Torvald.

And yes, for the women, I have the three that the author does not want to hear about.

Maybe it's time to stop being paranoid.
