How is it a “presumed” benefit when we actually did sell access to our APIs to clients? Some of our APIs initially had very low usage during the day until a batch job came in, others saw a spike in usage by over 100% when we bright a new client in.

We were used by health care networks. Can you imagine the increased use post-Covid?

We even had some that were both hosted on Fargate (Serverless Docker) with lower latency, more expensive but slower scaling for online use and hosted on Lambda for internal batch use - higher latency, faster scaling, less expensive for batch use. The CI/CD pipeline deployed to both.
