I'm seeing the move to Lambda/FaaS break down services to collections of much smaller functions. Seems to be productive so far.

Definitely the future model in terms of infrastructure support, I won’t disagree. I still think a larger “unit” is needed, too

I think the right level of granularity is TBD and application-dependent. Step Functions are agnostic, though.

I haven't used Lambda yet, but am I right in assuming multiple lambdas would typically share one DB? /@stilkov @timbray
