Lambda can have its place in some architectures. I am not a fan of them in general, I've seen enough giant webs of lambdas that become impossible to truly understand the full architecture as they are split across 100 repos, just a web of slop lambdas. This feels like a canary in a coal mine, if you need this, you really need to start migrating to a standalone service on a machine instead of a lambda, where you are using it wrong.
