Fixed, thanks for the heads up!

Ask HN: How are you using FaaS in your startup?

Posted by adjohn on Monday July 08, 2019 @03:08PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I am seeing more and more companies in Who's Hiring mentioning serverless/Lambda/FaaS. I'd like to hear some of the use cases for how AWS Lambda and other FaaS offerings are being used in startups.What are some of the challenges you've faced in going that route, and why did you decide to build on Lambda (or equivalents)?

Re:Ask HN: What Is a Good Toolset for Serveless Development? on Monday March 04, 2019 @06:49PM (#19306859)
We're happy users of both Serverless Framework as well as SAM (AWS). Serverless Framework offers a pretty rich set of plugins which provides a lot of extensibility out of the box including function warming, webpack, instrumentation and many others.

Shameless plug alert: we also dogfood IOpipe, our own dev tooling for Lambda. IOpipe[1] gives us near realtime errors, logs, tracing, and CPU/mem profiling capabilities that we're used to having in "traditional" development environments.

The cold start times have been quietly getting better over time on AWS Lambda. I just checked some python Functions and I'm seeing cold starts take around 80ms on average for a simple function.
