Is Lambda only for workloads that require serverless architecture, or is it also for workloads for folks that would like to be running serverless? I have a variety of web application APIs running on webservers in a VPC, with an RDS MySQL instance for backing. I'm interested in writing our new development using Lambda, but I'm still using MySQL as the database backend for now, and I still need to interact with existing APIs in the VPC. Perhaps someday I will have moved all those other applications to Lambda as well, and perhaps someday I will port all of our database functionality to DynamoDB, but I don't think that should be required in order to just get started with Lambda. If I was writing everything from scratch, maybe I'd go full serverless. But I'm not in that case, and I'm also not in a case where MySQL won't "scale" for me at all (I wish I had that problem). If Lambda's not for me, any Amazon engineer can feel free to tell me so, but given their marketing, I did not think this was the case. They offered Lambda VPC for a reason, even though it doesn't work very well currently.
