The Easiest Way to Compute in the Cloud – AWS Lambda

All Things Distributed

Capital-intensive storage solutions became as simple as PUTting and GETting objects in Amazon S3. Our answer is a new compute service called AWS Lambda. AWS Lambda makes building and delivering applications much easier by giving you a simple interface to upload your Node.js

Cloudburst: stateful functions-as-a-service

The Morning Paper

On the Cloudburst design teams’ wish list: A running function’s ‘hot’ data should be kept physically nearby for low-latency access. The canononical cloud platform architecture decouples storage and compute services so that each can be scaled and operated independently, i.e., they are disaggregated.

Choosing a cloud DBMS: architectures and tradeoffs

The Morning Paper

Which I’m quite happy to see as my most recent data pipeline is based around Lambda, S3, and Athena, and it’s been working great for my use case. For cost calculations, the costs are a combination of compute costs, storage costs, data scan costs, and software license costs. The design space. Key findings. Serverless o?erings
