What Hacker News says?
> "Serverless" isn't all that much "easier" to setup compared to traditional server setup. You still need to know how to wireup your request gateway to the correct service, you need to write your app for a serverless setup, setup security groups, etc. You only have to setup security groups if you are running lambda's in a VPC, which in the simple case (e.g., not running a cloud extension of an internal corporate net…

HN discussionApparently EFS is better for storage latency (no personal experience): https://lumigo.io/blog/unlocking-more-serverless-use-cases-w... But on the other hand EFS blocks Lambda's JVM fast start mode that is based on Firecracker VM snapshots. Not that it matters for Postgres...

It's obviously load dependent but functions-style code is going to typically be cheaper than even the smallest EC2 instance while handling more load (provided your RAM/CPU usage fits within the envelope it's optimized around). Disclaimer: I work at Cloudflare on R2 and Workers is even cheaper than Lambda@Edge (provided your…

HN discussionhttps://lumigo.io/blog/comparing-amazon-ecs-launch-types-ec2... You can now specify your launch type to be an ec2 instance. This has the benefit of lower cost but you are responsible for managing the instances ex: security patches, etc.
