An Azure Cloud Architect has joined our company. They are recommending that all our web apps that are currently deployed in Azure App Services/ VMs should be (gradually) split up into Azure Functions going forward. I’m skeptical – I was under the impression that serverless was for small “burstable” apps with relatively low traffic, or background processing. The two products I work on are both REST APIs that send and receive data from a user interface (react) with roughly 60 API routes each. They have about 100 concurrent users but those users use the apps heavily. The consensus on the internet seems to be “serverless has its use cases” but it’s not clear to me what those use cases are. Are the apps I’m working on good use cases?
