The Web Development Podcast with Fexingo: Frontend, Backend, and Modern Web Stack

How One Serverless Function Cost a Startup 28 Hours


Listen Later

Lucas and Luna kick off The Web Development Podcast by dissecting a single real-world failure: a serverless function that ran wild and racked up a $47,000 bill for a 12-person startup. They break down why 'it works on my machine' thinking is dangerous, how cold starts actually work under the hood, and what a proper error budget looks like. Along the way, they preview the show's style — specific numbers, real cases, and a refusal to hand-wave about 'best practices' without showing the trade-offs. No hot takes, no tool-worship. Just two developers talking through the decisions that actually matter when you're shipping to production.
