Reviewer scorecard
“The serverless standard. Event sources, layers, and container image support cover every use case.”
“Best documentation in cloud computing. Tutorials alone make it worth recommending. Simple, predictable pricing.”
“Cold starts have improved dramatically. For event-driven workloads, Lambda's pricing model is unbeatable.”
“Not for enterprise scale but for startups and indie projects, the simplicity and pricing are unbeatable.”
“Serverless is the default compute model. Lambda's ecosystem and AWS integration ensure its dominance.”
“Squeezed between hyper-scalers above and serverless platforms below. The mid-market IaaS space is shrinking.”
