“Faster than writing the Lambda”
Used weekly for 1–2 years
For internal glue — take a webhook, enrich it, write to Postgres, notify Slack — this is quicker than standing up a function and its deployment pipeline. Secrets and versioning are handled, so there is genuinely nothing to set up.
Pros
Code steps with real package imports. Built-in secrets. Free tier covers a lot of personal automation.
Cons
Credits burn on execution time, so one slow third-party API cost more than the rest combined.
Problems it solves
Removed a dozen tiny Lambda functions and their deployment overhead.
