But this thing only runs JavaScript. The constant AWS bashing in this article doesn't make sense when the only fair comparison they can make here is AWS Lambda with a Node.js runtime against Cloudfare Workers.
- zackbloom 8y agoYou can run any WebAssembly targeting language in a Worker.
- theOldManTheBoa 8y agoOkay, so now I have to build a pipeline, to get my runtime into WebAssembly. I have to sit around and make that work. And ultimately, what does that actually look like, when fully realized in code? A sprawling mess of compromises, or a full rewrite. Sounds great.
- perbu 8y agoIf you plan on using Javascript on Lambda the bashing makes perfect sense. So if want to write serverless functions in Go or Python you go somewhere else. But if you, as most other do, write them in Javascript, then this is a relevant platform to consider.
- luddy 8y agoAWS Lambda@edge only supports the node.js runtime, so a comparison between workers and lambda@edge isn't so unreasonable; they have very similar execution models, I think.
