We run many microservices on Lambda and it has been a pleasant experience for us. We use Terraform for creating, managing environment variables, and permissions/log groups/etc. We use CodeShip for testing, and validating and applying Terraform across multiple accounts and environments.
For logging, we pipe all of our logs out of CloudWatch to LogEntries with a custom Lambda, although looking at CloudWatch logs works fine most of the time.
"looking at CloudWatch logs works fine most of the time"...are you kidding? I wanna gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon every time I have to look at CW logs :)
There's a cabinet at our local arcade (Logan Hardware, Chicago), and it's been awesome. We have a Facebook group for serious player meet-ups and a monthly tournament. My team won the first.
As an American who isn't offended in the slightest by swearing, all of this Brit condescension is much more offensive. We get it. You like to think you're so much more sophisticated. Even a slack-jawed blog proves this.
You have to admit that in general Brits are much better than Americans at swearing though. The problem in this case is simply the stylistic choice to rely primarily on "fucking" instead of the usual variety of flowery vituperation.
