The plot would be every similar to Apple TV's "For All Mankind" show, I won't spoil who all populates the moon though.

The real power of Facebook is the trove of user data that they obtain through the freemium where the "user is the product". It will be really interesting to see the subscription price and how many users will end up actually paying for the service and to what extent a subscribed user's data collection is stopped is yet to be seen.

https://servers.lol/ is a one resource at a very high level to see if EC2s or Lambda is a good fit for the use-case you are looking at.

The site gives a cost estimate and an application score comments (latency, burstiness, function execution time)

In my opinion, serverless is not there yet for large scale latency-sensitive use-cases (where they cannot be hidden by UI tricks). Startup time of lambda runtime (cold container and then the language runtime) is high for web use-cases where the tail latency of multiple seconds cannot be tolerated.

Lambda serverless is really good if you have low RPS and want to pay-for-use due to the low RPS ( prototypes, small production apps, cron-jobs, regular scheduled events, compute intensive - image processing jobs)

Haha. I also see many such demands being made for small open-source projects (1-2 person(s) in their free time, not company funded)

Are there any resources / services where such developers can get paid on request and they work on the issues after that ?

Or you could invoke the lambda on a schedule using Cloudwatch

How are they going to keep up with production on Roadster when Model 3 production itself is slow and low ?

One small difference is that the activity on GMail or large email providers is generally two-way and it becomes clear when you understand that clicking "Send" sends your mail away to be stored in GMail forever unlike where photos somebody would be taking with their friends are not aware if it is put in Facebook or similar social places.

I wonder if the equivalent of Github Webhooks is present in Google Cloud Source Repositories, as far as I can see, couldn't find any in the product page.

Yes, you are right. Infact I was wondering the same too. They also make sure their systems are resilient by testing out scenarios as simple as one instance going down [1] to a whole data center going down [2] and yet this happens. I guess we have to wait till the post-mortem report comes in on this.

Does Netflix have a standard status dashboard like other services do ?
