The Serverless Revolution

" summary

HTTP endpoint accepts a color query, uses a color library to validate and convert it, and publishes RGB values to an Adafruit IO MQTT feed where a Raspberry Pi subscribes and updates a badge; code runs on Azure Functions with npm modules supported and deploys via the serverless framework (occasional deploy failures). Billing is per execution, cold starts for Node are ~1–2s, and observability/metrics can lag up to five minutes, so trade-offs are concrete.
