> I do wonder how they came to Lambda though.

Probably some security certification that AWS Lambda comes with. I worked at Cambia Health that used Lambda (Javascript) for dealing with customer mobile data. It was a nightmare solution (cost and complexity) for what should have been a simple fan out queue and process system. They hired me to help fix it. Every other solution was a flat no. AWS Lambda was was HIPPA compliant (for whatever that's worth) and some other security assurances that I don't remember, so I was basically just another developer (with a moron for a manager).
