Ask HN: AWS Lambdas for Hosting CRUD Rest Apps

1 point

4 years ago

I've been building things[1] by running containers in lambdas and hooking to API gateway. It's pretty great for low usage side stuff, because it costs pennies to host. So I was wondering how far this idea can be pushed.

Is anyone hosting a full CRUD type app with routing and persisting to somewhere on AWS Lambda? Projects like `aws-lambda-go-api-proxy`[2] or your language equivalent seem to make this very easy to do.
