I actually prefer using the containers. It's easily repeatable anywhere I can run docker (doesn't have to be AWS). I can also avoid any race conditions by checking to see if the task is already running. (And in general I'm not a fan of trying to do a lot in lambda. I like it a lot more as a glue layer / event handler).
