Moving BBC Online to the Cloud — The BBC’s Web presence is significant and operationally complex and, I didn’t know till now, largely serverless:

“Around half of the BBC’s website is rendered serverlessly with AWS Lambda. Managing virtual machines (or containers) is expensive — keeping them secure, reliable and scalable takes time. Serverless mostly solves that problem for us. And problems solved elsewhere mean we shouldn’t do them ourselves.”
