The structure of the article was an experiment, and it’s probably too long.

slobodan_ | 7 years ago | on: Serverless and startups
Although I enjoy talking about technology, and I enjoy working with serverless, it's important to note that using serverless for @slackvacation is not a technology decision. It's a business decision. Not because the auto -scaling, that's nice to have, but that's not a problem startups are facing in their early phase. It's about financial incentives — also, about focus, ability to move fast and test ideas, and the ability to grow without shooting future self into the foot.
We still often fail to do things fast enough, but we are aware of the problem and working hard to fix it.
slobodan_ | 7 years ago | on: How your startup can benefit from serverless
With serverless, your developers can focus on the business logic implementation, instead spending a lot of time on setting up and maintaining infrastructure. It also decreases the cost of your application, because it converts capital to operating expenses. Besides that, having smaller services allows you to implement changes and A/B tests easier, and to pivot faster.
With all the benefits mentioned above, serverless becomes more than the architecture choice, it becomes an important strategy. For example, it can allow you to charge teams per active user, without having to be a big company, such as Slack.

I like this explanation why serverless looks promising: https://youtu.be/SPsaqiegOP4. I recommend full video, but those few minutes are the important part.
Personally, serverless helps me to build reliable software faster, and it minimizes the amount of time I need to spend setting up the infrastructure. For me it already changed the things big way. It'll not work the same way for everybody, which is fine and expected.

Serverless can also change the way we test our non-serverless apps. For example, UI testing or load testing.

For Bitcoin, I am not into crypto currency, but that skill was done on live coding session, so I needed something that people like and that I can integrate really fast.

But if API Gateway or Cognito fails, I'll probably have a bigger problem than a tooltip that does not work. However, the tooltip will be cached, so if you loaded it once, it'll work even if API Gateway fails.
The AI part is used to generate tooltips, not to display them, so if it fails, I'll not be able to create new tooltips, or users will temporarily be unable to interact with them (ask sub-questions).
