And half the comments on are from people who didn’t read the article.
This isn’t about getting rich quick but setting up a system to respond to high load that comes in bursts.
The authors setup a system to handle bursts of traffic driven by a popular tv show. Normally the traffic is zero so in this case lambda makes a ton of sense.
- oblio 6y agoAs a matter of principle I rarely read articles with clickbait titles. As the name of the category implies, the signal to noise ratio is awful, 99% of them are a waste of time. I'd rather "read" it by reading comments on articles here on HN and only then deciding to read the main article if it proves worthy of my time :-)
- bognition 6y agoThat’s totally fair I often do that as well. :-) However you did assert that this article was about a get rich quick scheme which is taking things a bit further than commenting on a click vanity title. Viewers likely saw your comments and used it to form their opinion of the content.
- oblio 6y agoWell, looking at the other comments, it seems I was right. Many comments are about how shallow the article is from a technical point of view.
- oblio 6y agoOk, I take that back. It was a submarine article as you can see at the end but the call to action is for charity. So clickbait for a worthy cause.
