Don't use it. There's been a lot of over-hype around it and I'm here to tell you not to buy in. I've been building large scale applications in AWS for years in the EdTech industry, and I can tell you what scales and what doesn't. I'll talk about the various shortcomings, mitigations, and solutions! * Cloud provider business incentive misalignment * Very poor developer experience * Cold starts and performance problems * Concurrency myths * Cheap cost myths * Finally when you *should* use serverless, spoiler alert there are very few use cases that make sense At the end of this you'll know when and where to use serverless, and when to use "boring" technology to solve your problems.
