On top of that, the announcements from day 1 of AWS re:Invent:
Lambda now bills per 1 ms, instead of per 100ms
Lambda functions can get up to 10GB of memory and 6 vCPUs
Aurora Serverless v2 is in preview (runs MySQL serverless) with cheaper, finer and faster scaling
I might as well mention that Bref 1.0.1 can now run PHP 8.
Last time I tried serverless. I kept getting “MySQL has gone away errors”.
Basically when aurora scaled PHP kept looking or connecting to and underlying instance that were swapped is my guess. Wondering if v2 will improve and make the process more seamless. Any application cannot have users that get 500ed even once because the server scaled.
Oh wow, I’m pumped by that 1ms billing update!
The bigger takeway from this: Lambda can now run any Docker container. No “layers” needed. I suspect that eventually, layers and runtimes will go away entirely.
You would still need to implement lambda runtime API. It is already implemented in provided runtimes (easier deployment) or you could use some package like Bref.
Runtimes for node.js etc. are still great for simple “glue” functions and probably aren’t going away.
This is huge! Thanks for sharing!
Can you explain to my friend why it’s a huge deal?
