Are you actually hosting your entire API on it? Are you using it when you need a tiny backend for a mostly static app (for payment processing, for example)? Are you using it to do computations or run tasks, like web crawling?
I'm really curious as to why one would choose serverless functions over other options like PaaS (Heroku, Elastic Beanstalk, etc), IaaS (EC2), hosted K8s, or even just spinning up a $5 VPS.
Also, please share which provider you are using (Do you use AWS/GCP/Azure? Or go for a simplified wrapper service like Netlify Functions?)
