The other day I was talking with someone here in Estonia who is working on a similar system that looks at real-world AWS usage and moves customer machines on to reserved instances, using a marketplace so customers don't have to take on the 12-month commitment of a "real" reserved instance.
It looks like a new wave of AI-enabled cost-cutting cloud startups is emerging. Exciting times!
Hmm it seems curious that this attack on a successful Ukrainian startup is happening at this time.
Could it be a Russian smear campaign? It seems like the sort of thing that the St Petersburg disinformation teams would attempt, in very subtle ways...
Yes here too, and I think it's great and it's the way forward, but as with anything it requires some changes in thinking and approach. Re-composing everything into small functions, queues, and asynchronous events takes some getting used to. And there are some patterns that can help (e.g. using "job queues" can sometimes be the answer, rather than having a different queue for every type of action), when to use FIFO vs unstructured queues, and lots more.
Books like https://www.manning.com/books/serverless-architectures-on-aw... might help. And of course many consultants, good and bad, will cash in on the new trend, and there will be some high-profile disasters which should never have chosen serverless in the first place.
