Isn't it that you don't have to set up and maintain a kubernetes cluster?



Right, you just need a collection of XFaaS services, which need to be hosted somewhere... So you'll want some container orchestration tool, might as well use k8s.


If setting up a Kubernetes cluster isn't a terrible overhead for us, switching to FaaS would mean we would have more control or less control? I am thinking mainly of migration to another provider.

Maybe we would benefit more if we would have large spikes in resource usage, but we don't.


FaaS is an abstraction over a (several) managed k8s clusters. Like most abstractions, you're trading convenience for power/flexibility.
