The technology age isn’t the issue. The issue is how many projects have successfully deployed large scale reliable systems built with Lambda.

- abiro 7y agoThe internet is full of success stories if you care to look. My favorites: - iRobot (maker of Roomba) has been running its entire IoT stack serverless since 2016 (architect Ben Kehoe is a worthwhile follow on Twitter) - Reddit’s video hosting service is built and operated by a single engineer on a serverless stack
- unicornmama 7y agoThanks. This is good info.
- danillonunes 7y agoReddit’s self hosted video is terrible. Using them to advocate serverless is like using Twitter on the fail whale days to advocate Rails.
- laurentl 7y agoLarge scale reliable systems are antinomic with “launching a startup”. You’re going to go through 2 or 3 pivots and as many refactors, large scale is the last thing you want to optimize for.
