Serverless guy here. You’re on the right track. I’d just add that it’s more about ops burden than anything else.

iRobot is a $3bn market cap company with 23 million robots in the wild. Their entire IT estate for managing 23 million robots including the communication and systems is $15k a month. They can see their costs down to the function, they can see where every cent is spent and they do this with 10 engineers, 8 of which are in development, 2 in Ops.

Until a rearchitecture is needed. Then you’ll either need all your developers in ops or vice versa.

(Assuming your response implies iRobot uses serverless)
