Lambda is natively http based, no? Like all aws apis. It's just that it only speaks it's own json protocol, not generic web.

Also request/response is not inherently synchronous or asynchronous. It's just a protocol design pattern.

Buffering, overcommit, etc are also kust normal facts of life in both sync and async messaging.

No, it it natively event driven. Don’t confuse the control plane for the operational.

Request/response is fundamentally synchronous. If you want to nitpick about other layers not blocking, that’s missing the wood for the trees.
