Please can people give examples of what they're using lambda for. Everything I've seen has been really basic (like image scaling), but most things I think of require a database.
- deegles 11y agoI'm writing several apps for the Amazon Echo that are hosted on Lambda. I'm also using DynamoDB.

- trevordixon 11y agoCompiling LilyPond scores (http://lilybin.com http://lilybin.com). Usually we have at most 1 user at any time, but we can also handle bursts, like when a classroom of 30 students all use it at the same time. Ends up even cheaper than running one VM that can only handle 2–3 simultaneous users.

Now, we'll probably put it behind some of our APIs that see huge swings in traffic. It'll be nice to not pay to be running even a single x-large instance at night when the API is only seeing a few hundred hits per hour.
