What I hear a lot is that the scaling can take too long. I wonder if a hybrid where you use lambda as a temporary buffer would be the most cost effective.

- pageald 8y agoIn my experience using AWS, you can spin up new autoscaled instances pretty quickly. I don't even have a custom AMI, I use a generic image and run startup scripts to kick off my server software. Takes < 3 minutes to spin up a new one and start accepting requests. If that's not fast enough, you can bake an AMI and scale more proactively (e.g. scale when your server is 70% utilized rather than 95%)
