Should you use a Lambda Monolith, a.k.a. Lambdalith, for your API?

Why would you run kubernetes?

Do you really feel that serverless is somehow faster than a reasonably modern computer?

Nodejs on a single machine can manage tens of thousands of connections if not hundreds of thousands.

The vast, vast majority of sites would never be able to consume 50% of the computing power in a modern gaming OC.

I don't think it is faster, I think it is way more convenient Ok, say I don't need kubernetes.

I would still do it in AWS, as it is like golden garden, don't need to deep dive into security measures, to manage authorizations manually, to handle database sharding and optimizations, you get notifications systems, ML, data streams and everything just connects together.

From there using lambda is way faster than to develop your own api with caching and making sure it is 100% optimized so that 10 thousands ppl can connect, while in fact you might change it tmrw.
