The Wide World of Serverless
summary
A concrete walkthrough of a webhook that parses a CSS color, deploys as a function, and publishes RGB over MQTT to Adafruit IO to light a box; code uses Raspberry Pi + Johnny-Five, Node, and the Serverless framework. Live demo shows deploy steps, real-time console logs, tracing and latency graphs, cold-start behavior, memory tuning (down to 128MB), and the economic tradeoff vs EC2 with the typical 5 minute timeout constraint.
