Lambda is great for doing lots of tasks in bulk. Say I have a binary that is able to process data quickly.
On a lambda request nodejs instructs a binary on what to do using a socket. Meaning it binds to a local port and interacts with the binary getting and receiving instructions until the task is complete. In all sub 1 second.
Lambda doesn't allow sockets so its uses are very limited. Binaries also cut down the time it takes to do a task and allow a greater variety of things to be done.
