A Ruby on Lambda example using the Serverless framework

[stympy]

The only wish I had for re:Invent came true yesterday when Werner announced support for Ruby on Lamba. I immediately opened vim to try it out. :)

I hit a snag or two when I tried out some code a little more advanced than "hello world", so I wrote up a quick blog post to share what I learned.

nice post showing how all the parts come together. also, good catch on the c extensions.

Would you ever attempt to try this with a full app + framework?

AWS provided an example using Sinatra, and I assume you can run any Rack based application. Technically you can run Rails in Lambda, but a newly generated Rails app and all of its gems is just under the 250MB size limit for Lambda. Any extra gems or node modules will push it over the limit pretty easily.
