I think there is going to be a hige paradigm shift in the next few years and that AWS Lambda and similar services at the other cloud providers are going become the de-facto standard for deployment for many many use-cases.
Having a function marketplace (akin to the AMI marketplace) makes a lot of sense. There are tons of generic processes which I would rather purchase than spend time developing in house. However, I believe that AWS is likely to release such a marketplace themselves. How will you compete as a third party service/product?
Really? You think most webapps will be a string of Lambda functions? Will hacker news be a lambda?
Not a troll, but a 60% skeptic. I see the simple stuff Lambda can replace. Having a harder time see it taking away from the marketshare of the more complex stuff.
