I don't think I've ever accurately estimated a feature. If I think it will take 2 hours, it could take 2 days. A week? Might be done in a few hours. Software estimation is a useful tool, but using it in performance metrics will only lead to frustration & more slipped schedules.

There are two major problems with Serverless Aurora v2 that fundamentally miss the mark of true #serverless (ness). One is the inability to auto-pause (as Mike mentions), and the other is the missing Data API. These might make it unusable (for now). ☹️ Some thoughts… 🧵

An important behavior of serverless services is that they "scale to zero" - in other words if there's no activity then the user isn't charged, or is only charged a negligible amount. With AWS this is true of Lambda, S3, and DynamoDB on-demand. (1/8)

Clever way to build a #serverless email scheduling system (or any scheduling system for that matter) with #AWS #Lambda and #StepFunctions . No crons, no servers, no need to poll a DB. Cost would be $0.025 per 500 scheduled events (2 state changes). 👍
