Google calendar is automatically adding Google Meet links to ALL meetings not just when there is zoom link present.
Google Meet is google's VC solution and they are leveraging google calendar for promoting their solution - NOTING EVIL about it here.
In other words, Google Meet in integrated in to Google Calendar. I think it is your responsibility to clearly inform the client that you are hosting Zoom meeting.
Having worked in FANNG & Non-FANNG in long run, you will be happier/successful in where you are than in some fancy FANNG.
1. You are saving $49 month by spending 250+ hours engineering hours to structure the application which is near impossible to extend/maintain.
2. The $49/month subsidy (free tier) you are getting is temporary and will eventually go away (think about google maps api price change).
3. 50x cost for serverfull solution is not a right number. lets say you have to handle 500M requests per month (around 200 QPS) the 50x becomes .000X.
4. If there is any sudden spike to popularity, you are screwed. you will end up paying several thousand $ per month.
32 million requests can be easily served with $50/month heroku node.
it sounds lot cooler to say that " i made geolocation service using serverless/lamba" than "i made geolocation service using boring monolithic technology". where the former takes 150 hours to get it right and painful to add/manage features. where the later is very easy to maintain and very predictable priced.
