Nice to see this talked about here and Marc being public about it.
AWS is such a big place that even after a bit of tenure you still got place to look to find interesting technical approaches and when I was introduced to this schema for Lambda storage I was surprised.
As Marc mentions it is such a simple and powerful idea that is definitely not mentioned enough.
