Running a large scale analytics tracking backend for a game on AWS (written in swift, needs some hacks). About 5 million requests&#x2F;hour.<p>Pro:
- Dirt cheap (pay only what you need)
- Scales fast and large
- Just works<p>Cons:
- Getting swift to run is very hacky<p>Considering to replace the game backend (scala on ec2) with Swift on Lambda (plus API gateway)<p>ps:
Lambdas do run in containers&#x2F;instances that get reused ... unless they are idle for too long.
