AWS Lambda

Right for event-driven workloads. Not a universal architecture.

Lambda excels at event-driven workloads: S3 triggers, API Gateway handlers, SQS processors, scheduled tasks. The pay-per-invocation model makes it cost-effective for sporadic workloads.

Don't build entire applications on Lambda. Cold starts, execution time limits, and the debugging experience all push back against using serverless as a universal architecture. Use it for glue logic and event processing. Use containers for application workloads.
