It works remarkably well if you use a development toolchain (serverless and claudia are both good though I prefer the latter).

My only gripe is that API Gateway (APIG) charges $3.5 per million requests and there is no other way to invoke lambda functions over HTTP. Had to scale back my micro-service ambitions because of this.

Hmmmm, I know it seems ridiculous but I wonder if it would it be cheaper to just spool up an ec2 machine and async invoke the lambda call e.g. via boto?

It seems like APIG has a boat load of features, which is great... but they are mostly unused.

potentially I'm looking for something like this (to proxy_pass to a lambda function with nginx) https://github.com/washingtonpost/nginx-aws-lambda

I wrote a AWS Lambda plugin for the Caddy web server which can take the place of API Gateway.
