The pattern for CRUD is pretty straightforward, you have an API that sits in front of a memcache/redis layer and a database. There's nothing really stateful about the API, so it should be a good candidate for a lambda function.

However, since a lambda function is stateless, that means you can't maintain a connection to a caching or database layer. As far as I can tell, that means you can't actually build a scalable CRUD API with lambda?
