I help run a Node server, and we have some jobs that aren't run through CRON, but instead are set up using in-memory intervals. So I'm considering using a serverless setup to offload the work.

In your opinion, it easy to differentiate between dev/prod environments for development? How about logging?

Logging by default sucks for Lambdas. Because lambdas are not "servers" they do not have an external IP address, which means that if they want to communicate with the external world, you need to setup a NAT for it.

Differentiating dev/prod is not too bad, everything is labelled based on your naming scheme for serverless.

Having said that I think lambdas are a great use case for cron jobs.
