What about dependencies. What if you need a specific environment setup first in order to process. Would you end up paying 1 minute for each request just so that it can start installing bunch of stuff? Is it possible to just setup a VM of some sort and use that environment each time? If thats possible Lambda would be like PiCloud but without Python, and will stick around (hopefully).
