Every time i read this kind of news i wonder : is there any real point to use erlang if you’re not taking advantage of its concurrency model ?<p>Since the lambda model means concurrency is completely managed by the platform, why would you code in this language ?
I've been saying for a while that Lambda (and serverless in general) should just be a compilation target, not a Radically New Computing Concept(tm). This is another inch towards that.
Does this run a separate Beam instance for every Function? If so, isnt that an enormous waste of Erlang? If not, how isolated are requests? Can I send messages between them? Should I?
