I just had a conversation about this product idea a couple days ago. How long before Amazon acquires it and cripples the functionality? Could be a good exit strategy, at least.
I don't think they'd cripple it. Amazon takes a pretty long term view of things. They might well introduce something like this into their load balancer or api gateway though. It'd be nice to have in front of fargate because of the faster cold start times.
True, I think lambda would be a better choice for new projects. However, for old monolith projects, this sounds like a great way to cut costs on dev/staging servers.
