I consult and have encountered many people who build data intake pipelines using Lambda. The most common pattern is to have Lambdas feeding into a data lake somewhere, often Redshift. It is a very common pattern for IoT applications also and well-suited for it. The workloads are often bursty and unpredictable. But for many things, I believe it is still preferable to stick with a traditional web app or API. It is still early days for serverless and there is a lot of hype around it. As with most hyped things, people see it as a silver bullet and don't think through the tradeoffs they are making.
