I'm still very suspicious of 'serverless' architectures and people trying to hammer Lambda into fitting that ideal.
Lambda seems best suited for data processing tasks, one off 'cron' style jobs and synchronous request/response tasks that don't execute frequently
- Arelius 10y agoCan you elaborate on why you don't think it's well suited for more frequently accessed resources?
- djhworld 10y agoI guess I didn't phrase myself well, I meant for things like web services. Data processing (i.e. pulling events from Kinesis, responding to S3 events) seems like the perfect use case for Lambda, we have thousands of Lambda invocations a minute working against that and it works fine.
