A data pipeline is a software which runs on hardware. The software is error-prone and hardware failures are inevitable. In certain scenarios exactly-once semantics is possible but the best you can do is at-least-once or at-most-once. Testing Hell Testing and quality assurance with data pipeline is a nightmare.

Unfortunately, using certain open source database software as part of an HA architecture can present significant challenges. Therefore, DBAs must take a piecemeal approach to achieve HA with PostgreSQL, bringing together open source extensions and tools from multiple sources. there cannot be high availability.

Firecracker is open source, and there are a number of projects that make it easy to work with outside of the AWS environment too, including Weave Firekube (disclaimer: Accel is an investor in Weaveworks). This also makes any solution very sensitive to per-function (per isolation unit) overheads. Integrating Firecracker into AWS.
