Did I read it right you get 1 second responses? Why even bother with lambdas? A t3 nano reserved instance costs 2 bucks a month or something! Surely most folks don't anticipate 1000x scaling in minutes? Coupled to elastic beanstalk you can get reaonable scaling as well!
- mozey 6y agoMight be useful for services that aren't continually used? For example, month or year end processes. Not convinced I would use SQLite for a service like that though, seeing as AWS has serverless RDS
- scary-size 6y agoThis was just a proof-of-concept using the smallest lambdas available. I definitely would opt for a EC2 instance. Though lambda would be enough for something like a configuration service.
- ramraj07 6y agoIs a lambda easier to configure and set up? With Elastic Beanstalk and flask (and the sample code they provide) I can get an api running in a few minutes..
- moduspol 6y agoBoth are trivial and take only minutes if you're already familiar with them, but Lambda doesn't involve managing instances, their OSes, or making sure they scale up / down (at the instance level) the way you want.
