Ask HN: Are there any industry best-practices for running user supplied code?

2 pointsby hypnoscriptoalmost 4 years ago
Our application needs to run plugins written by users.<p>My general impression is &quot;just use AWS Lambda&quot;, but I haven&#x27;t found any articles by anyone authoritative who shares this opinion. Articles I&#x27;ve found by anyone not using Lambda describe a nest of VMs and containers that approximate Lambda with greater complexity, cost, and room to mess up.<p>There&#x27;s also the option to only run user code on user machines, which may work for us.<p>Can you share any in depth articles by anyone who has solved this problem at their own company?
