I used it for converting images to BPG format and do resizing. I really enjoyed it. Basically with Docker/lambda these days I feel like the future will be 'having code' and then 'running it' (no more ssh, puppet, kuberdummies, bash, vpc, drama). Once lambda runs a docker file it might take over middle earth. These were my issues with lambda:
1. Installing your own linux modifications isn't trivial (we had to install the bpg encoder). They use a strange version of the linux ami.
2. Lambda can listen to events from S3 (creation,deletion,..) but can't seem to listen to SQS events WTF? It seems like amazon could fix this really easily.
3. Deployment is wonky. To add a new lambda zip file you need to delete the current one. This can take up to 40 seconds (which you would have total downtime).
