I am glad AWS lambda is getting rivals, when I gave my talk about AWS lambda last fall only a third of the room had tried out lambda, a lot of people were making funny noises, lamenting the lack of this or that functionality (200&#x2F;500, tests etc). 
This competition will only make Lambda  stronger or weaker.
Altho last time I tried to use one of &#x27;Google Cloud&#x27; products (Pub&#x2F;Sub) it it took 2 hours and got nowhere (auth issues for days) before going to AWS SQS and 5 minutes later I was already testing a hello world - so I hope this new product wont stink as much!
