Are you ruining on Lamda? I like serverless, but hate AWS bill sucking up my cash runway. Not economical in Production...maybe at lower scale. I would prefer to deploy LB on a private cloud serverless architecture. Tips ?

if you're on a AWS, we utilize Lambda to get cost efficiency and predictable cost of execution, we also have a container based runtime that can run your APIs along with everything else that's part of the LunchBadger infrastructure to be run wholly on-premise in your private cloud. To the developer - they write a JavaScript/Node function realizing the serverless simplicity in building out their APIs.

Is this a lambda play?

We run on top of AWS Lambda - if you choose. Lambda is great but there's still a TON of scaffolding and boilerplate to get your APIs up and running including: model mappings, routing, point to point connection to either HTTP based proxies or Lambda functions. We simplify all of that utilizing the Serverless Framework running LoopBackJS models.

If you're not on Lambda or don't want it - the model logic can be run within our optimized container based runtime built on Kubernetes. Everything is transparent either way built on open source. Where you run it is your choice.
