Is lambda really that different from any other server technology?
It’s just a container that you have to boot and it handles web requests, right?
They boot fast, so for a low traffic site you can worry less about cold start, is there any other difference with any other containerized web server?
- travisjungroth 5y agoYes. In theory it would be the same but practically there are lots of gotchas. For a simple example, having a calculated cache on startup that five seconds would be fine on a traditional server but not on lambda.
