But once you understand that AWS freezes the context before finishing it in the next request, it makes sense. But it’s a big gotcha compared to the traditional node context management

Lambdas will really start shining once frameworks are built that take care of the cognitive rough edges by default

Absolutely love the general experience of using Lambdas for our entire API backend (no ops, serverless, dynamodb, SQS)

🔥 95% of the time, cold-starts don’t matter. Even when backing web & mobile apps. Lots of misguided shade thrown on lambdas for these use cases, as the benefits outway the negatives
