I find it hard to reconcile this suggestion at the bottom of the article
> Always build your architecture in a way that will avoid becoming trapped into a specific service. Amazon’s AWS Lambda sitting between any services and your app is a strongly recommended path!
- Build without depending on external services
- You can do this by depending on this external service
- chaostheory 9y agoI don't feel that relying on an external service is always bad as long as there's no vendor lock-in with technologies that are open standards. Case in point the managed postgresql and mysql services that Amazon, MS, and Google all support. That said I'm extremely wary of Cloud Spanner and Azure Cosmos DB or any specialized service that the big 3 offer.
- ceejayoz 9y agoLambda functions can be built in a pretty portable manner. You can build and test them locally, after all.
