This I think misses the point of Lambda a little. If you want to keep your Lambda instances warm all the time, you should use ECS because that's what ECS is. Lambda is for intermittent workloads where latency is less important and the cost of spending 100ms invoking an instance is less than the cost of keeping an idle container up and running all the time.
- ashtonkem 7y agoI agree that intermittent, latency insensitive operations is exactly what Lambda is good for. However this is fairly disjoint with what the hype around serverless has been about, which is why I mention it.
