- [Instructor] So as I discussed in the previous movie, when we're considering high-availability approaches, one of the most modern concerns is to understand when you might actually select servers versus serverless architectures for your application. As I mentioned, the learning curve for most teams to build applications with serverless, is nontrivial, because it's a new technology, so there's an upfront cost to it, and I've actually found in working with some teams, that that's prohibitive. You know, they have a deadline, they have to get it out, so they need to use something more familiar, like EC2. And there's nothing wrong with that, but you have to weigh carefully both approaches in terms of cost because the long-term service cost for serverless is going to be probably much lower. So implementing availability and elasticity for serverless is simpler and cheaper. And because of that, we're going to talk about services that Amazon's providing and where they could plug in to your…
