I was using regular NodeJS server on EC2 or similar services from cloud providers and wanted learn Serverless because at the peak times I was struggling to manage servers for https://nureply.com.

It turned out great and I am almost paying nothing. It is a bit slow if there are no active users but at the peak times there is no cold starts and comparable to regular Ubuntu server.

Vendor lock in is true but I can copy paste a lot of code to make it a regular server again.

Also there are limitations for long running tasks but for these kind of tasks I can create a thin server.

So far it is doing well and enjoying not doing any devops so far.
