When to use serverless

Many types of computing problem can be solved with a serverless design. Personally speaking, I have a hard time not using serverless systems nowadays due to the speed, flexibility, and adaptability they provide. The classes of problem that are suitable for serverless systems are extensive. Still, there is a sweet spot that is good to keep in mind when approaching new problems. Outside of the sweet spot, there are problems that are not a good fit.
