Serverless vs Containers advanced
An image-derivative pipeline runs as functions: about 270 million invocations a month at roughly 1.8 seconds and 2 GB of memory each, costing about 16000 dollars a month at 2026 per-invocation prices. The team wants to move it to a container fleet on one-year reserved capacity. Give the sequence, say where output can diverge, and name the point of no return.
