Lambda is far from the most easy to use platform, no argument there, but I don't see any justification for bashing its reliability..

- teej 9y agoMaybe I just don't have enough experience with the competitors but I had to spend significant time writing wrappers and tooling to make Lambda usable in a sane way. Off the top of my head, I added - prefix logging, controlled timeouts to prevent AWS's terrible auto-retry feature, continuation to work around AWS's low 5 min timeout limit, and local testing.
