Can someone give some concrete example uses of why I would want to use workers in production? From what I understand, it works like a middleware/caching layer but without database access. Is the potential cost savings worth the development overhead/platform-lockin?
Thanks, I have not heard of AWS Lambda before. I was able to find some case studies on Amazon's website [1] describing practical uses in production. It seems the most common uses are processing user uploaded images/videos. I can definitely see cost savings here without significant platform lock-ins since they're probably just short functions running imagemagick/ffmepg.
