Cool idea, but wouldn't applications of this be pretty significantly limited by lambda execution timeouts?

The "process big data in the cloud" use case in the README seems like it's not really all that tenable, depending, I guess, on the structure of the data and the necessary processing steps.

sshell inherits the limitations of the FaaS infrastructure, including the time limit. Regarding the big data use case, more work is necessary to assess this, but the applications we have written so far were competing both in terms of efficiency and pricing (Section 5 in [1]).
