Well, you are still free to write resource consuming operations and deploy it to an EC2 instance and call it from Amazon Gateway. Lambda is just an example. Moreover I feel Lambda can do pretty good stuff. I am sure it will integrate with other AWS services pretty soon and once there is connectivity to an RDS instance, then it solves the use case for half the developer population out there.
