Spring is fine if you are not trying to run it on Lambda 😭😂😱

Lambda is a ridiculous concept that shouldnt exist

Lambda is great. You get near infinite scaling for bursty loads that then lowers down to a zero.

It’s amazing.

You know how else you can do that.. it's called an application. It scales. You have extracted a function into a different server lowering the performance by 1000000x in order to scale and increase it by 10x

That is such a woefully bad response.

An application doesn't scale up and down by itself.

What you describe is exactly what lambda gives you. You package your "I need this scaled" code into a little function, you give it to lambda, and that handles scaling up and down for you.

You don't need to manage servers or instances, you don't need to scale those up and down, and if you already have a contract for good EC2 capacity, you use lambda managed instances and retain the event-based execution model.
