The difference is that the model is based on usage not seats and revenue is going to be shared with builders of extensions used by users of the framework (80% of the revenue) to he…

The "bankrupt your company with the wrong keystroke" is not entirely accurate. AWS does work with companies (or even individuals) if they genuinely made an error that wracked up a …

I have watched almost all those talks as they are technically dense and full of very good and very useful technical knowledge that I would be much poorer for not watching. These ar…

Have you looked at the recent crop of Serverless rechnologies that rtuly abstract away even considering the underlying hardware platforms. I am talking about tools such as Serverle…

I have worked with many teams and found lambda to be by far more cost effective. Did your calculations include the time lost waiting to deploy solutions while infrastructure gets s…

This is where using a tool like the Serverless Framework helps solve a lot of these problems: - Use async/await promises instead and the specific plugin for the Serverless Framewor…

I agree somewhat, but its a little more nuanced. Right up front, you could absolutely get infrastructure setup yourself using things like EC2 etc that would eventually be cheaper w…

FaaS has been remarkably good for many companies with very late stage products running with very large numbers of users for a very long time. The speed of development even in a mat…

Non-relational databases match one of the largest use cases that exist; large volume OLTP workloads. Non-relational databases typically can handle far more load on reads and writes…

Not to mention that that same infrastructure you say is in abundance is usually pretty heavily utilised already so there isn't just spare capacity lying around. Procuring new hardw…

Its not as simple as that. Just because its the case of "we have lots of old stuff" doesn't mean you need to ignore the new stuff. Building solutions with traditional data centers …

This happened to me once and AWS entirely reversed the charges no questions asked. And its really something you don't need to worry about. AWS makes more than enough money off of l…

Hi tdfirth. I am with the team at Serverless, Inc, creators of the Serverless Framework. I can totally understand the frustration, especially with new development architectures suc…

Oh yes, and serverless is not just Lambda, its a about the whole suite of cloud services you combine together to build your solution.

This is not entirely true. Firstly because Lambda keeps getting cheaper with the move from per 100ms billing to pwe 1ms being a big contributor. but also that I see organizations h…

EC2 is a managed solution but you still need to manage servers.

I am curious what made you unsatisfied. As a member of the Serverless team I'd love to hear the feedback so we can potentially improve the experience for you and others.

Shipping value is important. If you can build a solution faster in a monolithic, MVC style framework running on EC2 instances, then do that. I think people get too bogged down in t…

I have been building JAMstack apps since 2016 using exactly the stack you are asking about. Using something like the Serverless Framework to help you build and deploy your collecti…

I am not entirely sure this is correct. There are definitely ways to delete or update data.

Serverless Framework. And you have some choices. You can use the serverless-express component to just get Express deployed into Lambda: https://github.com/serverless/components#ser…

If you use a tool like the Serverless Framework, you can trigger Lambda functions off of many different events, includinmg a schedule: https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/pro…

I just want to add in about version controlling Lambda code, this is entirely possible using the available tooling with something like the Serverless Framework at serverless.com

Not entirely true. The largest use case we see for Lambda is as the compute service for an API backend provisioned with API Gateway (so a full application backend) with synchronous…

There are an enormous number of people using Lambda's as a part of very complex workloads including customer facing platforms. Your specific use case of 100 000 incoming requests i…
