Lambda also has very long (15+ second) cold start times if you start lambda functions attached to a VPC (such as lambda functions that connect to your MySQL server).

Mailtrain will help you manage your email campaigns and the marketing list, but isn't going to help with deliverability. If you have SES setup with SPF and DKIM, and you're removing emails from your list when they bounce, Mailtrai

Mailman is for discussion lists. Mailtrain is for marketing emails. Mailman is really good for setting up discussion lists for a group or even a company, and managing all the people in those lists. People can sign up themselves, and can vie

You use Mailtrain to manage your list subscriptions and manage your email blasts. If you want your email to then land in inboxes instead of spam, you can use an emailing service, like MailGun or Amazon SES, to actually send the mail. Instru

That's further than I got. Mostly my issue is that, if we're now getting into needing to compile nginx unit from source and manually compiling the PHP modules, it doesn't save anything over setting up php with CGI or WSGI. I&

"As of Release 1.0, NGINX Unit supports Go, Perl, PHP, Python, and Ruby on the same server. Multiple language versions are also supported, so you can, for instance, run applications written for PHP 5 and PHP 7 on the same server."

AWS Lambda doesn't support php natively currently. It came out with Node support, and has since added Python, Java, and C#. Of them Node generally has the fastest startup time, so if you want to run an unsupported language (like PHP),

Serious question: has Eclipse Che gotten easier to setup over the past year? I tried it out in May/June 2016, and setting it up was very difficult -- the documentation was sparse and I ran into errors all over the place. When I finally

If you're cold starting in the public cloud, Lambda can start in 1s. If you're cold starting Lambda functions with a VPC NIC (which you would need to do if you're trying to connect to a MySQL server), it can take 10-15+ secon

DynamoDB, which is Amazon's serverless NoSQL database offering. If your service takes off, it's also the guaranteed source of a serious amount of cash for the company. If you get big while on DynamoDB, 1) it's near impossible

The code for Lambda and API Gateway can be moved to servers easily enough, yes. Switching away from using DynamoDB as a backend store, though, not so much. That would be quite a migration. As a compromise I'd look to using MySQL or Pos

Is Lambda only for workloads that require serverless architecture, or is it also for workloads for folks that would like to be running serverless? I have a variety of web application APIs running on webservers in a VPC, with an RDS MySQL

It's every time you have to start up a lambda instance. So if you're low, continuous traffic, it'll happen once and you won't really care. If you're high traffic, occasionally different instances will get started up

As I explain over here ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13774041 ), trying to use Lambdas with your existing servers, like Postgres, can cause some serious complications.

IMO one of the better ways to handle managing config and functions is using the Serverless Framework: https://serverless.com/ Your configuration and your code both live together, and can be stored in git together. You can c

by joecot 10y ago
I'm amused by the off-hand note about maybe using DynamoDB instead of a relational database, because the biggest issue with connecting your Lambda functions to MySQL is that using Lambdas within a VPC is absolutely terrible right now.

Having this on AWS is perfectly fine. I even think it's viable to look at Hyper.sh as an alternative to Elastic Container Service, even though both are being hosted on AWS. But if it's hosted on AWS, it's important that peopl
