I agree, especially regarding the documentation. I was trying not to be too negative, but using Lambda is an exercise in frustration because of API Gateway. I hope they hook up the new ALB service as an option for a Lambda proxy.

I wish they'd focus on speed and rebuilding API Gateway to be easier to use, or provided a new proxy option to run Lambda under. This set of changes doesn't seem to improve on any of the practical issues in using Lambda with API G

Interesting option, especially if you live in a cold climate :) Hard to imagine a cooling setup for these that is not at least a bit noisy, especially since most affordable PSUs and fans will be meant for servers and therefore noisy. Good i

On the other (far more practical, IMO) end of the spectrum, I'm impressed by the $200 35W quad core i5-6600T ( http://ark.intel.com/products/88200 ). To me that's the sweet spot in a home/workstation setti

I've looked into doing this. Flask is too integrated with the WSGI protocol to be easily adapted to this model. It presupposes a number of things about the request and response protocol that are not true in Lambda. You would end up hav

This is awesome - it takes care of a lot of the pain of setting up Lambda, including the packaging, the tricky IAM policies and the crazy API Gateway incantations. It also follows the Flask decorator conventions! I could have really used th

In my experience, Windows 10 is a poor upgrade from Windows 7 on laptops and desktops. The interface is a buggy, half-hearted attempt to roll back the trainwreck that is Windows 8 to something resembling 7, except 7 still works better since

In my experience, API Gateway is holding Lambda back. It would help if AWS came out with a radically simpler (and faster) configuration of API Gateway tightly coupled with Lambda, that doesn't require an arcane API to configure routes

They upgraded their Node runtime from the legacy 0.10 to 4.2LTS... I'm having a hard time imagining a reason to hate Python that doesn't also apply to Node. Lack of a JIT? (It would be awesome to have Lambda + PyPy + 3.5... though

Unfortunately, right now ACM only works with CloudFront distributions or with ELBs in us-east-1. If you're running ELBs in another region, you can't use ACM on them.
