"lambda users"? I've not heard that term before.
- mxuribe 5y agoSame here. Is that a synonym for a lay person?
- omginternets 5y agoI suspect the grandparent is francophone. It means “run of the mill”.
- 10729287 5y agoFrench here. Lambda user is definitely the term we use for the Average Joe. Comes from Greek. Never heard of Lay Person or read about it before, happy to discover the term !
- mxuribe 5y agoThank you; today you taught me something! :-)
- remram 5y agoIt is a French idiom, meaning a random or ordinary user.
- unethical_ban 5y agoAWS Lambda, "serverless compute". No servers to manage. No runtimes to deal with. You load functions into a cloud provider (AWS for example) and feed the function inputs from other AWS services like a queue or an API endpoint. Pay only for the execution of the function based on input. It's really amazing conceptually, but like the parent said, there aren't many self-hosting options out there. IIRC there is some Apache project, but is there anything in the world for which there isn't? edit - I just realized that isn't the context of the OP's statement. Heh.
