There’s a lot of talk about serverless and DevOps, but what’s it like doing these things in production?

* Why the organization went serverless instead of using PaaS or containers
* Serverless benefits, including scale, consumption-based pricing, and no OSs to upgrade
* The decision to go with AWS Lambda over Azure Functions
* Why they went with Azure DevOps as the tool suite
* How they use AWS CloudFormation for infrastructure provisioning
* The challenges of running serverless in production
