The biggest benefit to me has been about flexibility and the shift to a more event-driven way of writing and scaling apps. Which together seem to evolve into a more functional programming like approach to services communicating. Write a function and deploy it. Want that function exposed via an API? Easy. Want it to be fired in response to an object being uploaded to S3? You can do that too. All it’s concerned with is inputs and outputs. How you compose them is up to you. And if the there’s zero need for a function to be running it’s not running, you’d don’t have ECS containers sitting around idle waiting for work. The trade off atm is visibility into how & where exactly a given function is being used within a codebase(s).
