Great points! We'd like to expand on this to go deeper, and these are great suggestions.


Servers.lol was a side project for us to figure out if some of our own workloads were a good fit. Our day jobs are to build tooling for serverless applications. You can find more at http://iopipe.com

It's the total number, sorry for that not being clear. We will make some improvements that may help clear that up.


Point well taken, we'll iterate on this and add some background on Lambda.


Thanks for the feedback! You should be able to edit the inputs by clicking on the left hand side (application name) to change the inputs above.


A little over a year and a half ago, we started diving deep into the serverless space. We spoke to many users of AWS Lambda and found that the biggest issue with building complex serverless application was a lack of visibility and instrumentation.

It's difficult to know when issues start bubbling up, and relying on so many services as part of your application can be scary. We've built a set of tools to help dig deep into functions, and view outwards by tracing triggers and external calls performance and metadata surrounding it.

I'd love to hear more from Lambda users about their experiences building and operating serverless apps.

Not trying to be spammy here, but I want there to be awareness that there are startups working on tools to address these gaps. Our startup, IOpipe[1] is working on one set of tools to ease development, debugging, and instrumentation for serverless applications. Aside from Stdlib and ourselves, there are others working in areas like security and CI/CD as well. These are early days, and tools will soon become abundant, but at least there are a handful to try out today.
