I guess what initially converted me was dealing with a data flow that hovered at about 10 requests/min and then every hour jumped to 10k requests/min. Being able to do that without thinking about scaling or cost really changed the way I imagined data flows in the backend.
I guess now that I have boilerplate of code that works and its quickly deployed and tested with GH actions, I consider it a no brainer for most workflows.
I don’t know if you’ll have any impact at all though regarding your situation. You’re in a big city where this kind of stuff is part of life. Your best option is probably to move.
