No CMS that I know of (and certainly not Strapi) is designed for prototyping video games... there are purpose-built solutions for that[1]. Strapi and its competitors are for people building static sites and very simple CRUD applications.
There are now also mature platforms like Directus[2] that are less about content and would probably work for your use-case as well, in addition to being more suited for CRUD apps than Strapi would be.
Your solution doesn't really sound like it makes sense anyway. You don't need a lambda to list S3 assets because the S3 API already does that for you (faster and for free).
I think the tl;dr from your post is that you tried to use a hammer to turn a screw, and now you think hammers are not as useful as people say they are.

- 41209 5y agoAh, I left out a key point. I need to do some specific operations using some AWS services which is why I went the route I did. >You don't need a lambda to list S3 assets because the S3 API already does that for you (faster and for free). I also do a bit of light data processing here( as in gathering some data from other sources, to create aggregate data objects), I'd rather drive this from a web service versus invoking S3 directly from Unity. I wrote this post after fighting Strapi for 2 days and it still not doing what I want. I might consider playfab in the future, but since I do depend on some AWS services I might be stuck with what I'm doing.
