Is this even achievable with Lambda though? Even with Lambda, you still have to configure your "infrastructure", just that instead of ELB and EC2, you now have to manage APIGW and Lambda, and any other "wiring" that you need to put in to do what you needed.
All in all, I can't really say Lambda is really all that "easy" considering options like AWS EB/ECS can be setup relatively easily.

Those are the equivalent of ELB/APIGW thing. You don't manage those, you make them once. Not sure where you personally draw the line between app development and infra work, but for me "request that comes on this path, calls this function", either via ELB -> backend or APIGW -> lambda, or you know, whatever you use for your django app -> a function defined in a view.py, is app, not infra.
- akhilcacharya 7y agoFor the record, you can easily abstract that away or include it in your own code with frameworks like Chalice [0] [0] https://github.com/aws/chalice https://github.com/aws/chalice
- einaregilsson 7y agoThere are definitely still things you need to think about with Lambda, like how much memory you want to allocate etc.
