If the load is so minimal for those functions and you are already running other infra for the rest of your app why would you "outsource" those functions to a serverless runtime? What do you gain besides another system you deploy to?

config drift
What do you mean?
By duplicating and distributing parts of your app into a bunch of distributed targets you will, eventually, accumulate drift in assumptions about your environment/partners/libraries/databases/etc
Right, so that is an argument against outsourcing low-traffic stuff to a serverless runtime, right?
