Reviewer scorecard
“The serverless standard. Event sources, layers, and container image support cover every use case.”
“The standard for metrics. PromQL is powerful, the ecosystem is massive, and it pairs perfectly with Grafana.”
“Cold starts have improved dramatically. For event-driven workloads, Lambda's pricing model is unbeatable.”
“Battle-tested at every scale. The pull model and service discovery integration are well-designed.”
“Serverless is the default compute model. Lambda's ecosystem and AWS integration ensure its dominance.”
“Prometheus + Grafana is the open-source observability stack. Mimir extends it to global scale.”
