Servers.lol – Should Your EC2 Be a Lambda?

In plain words

Servers.lol is a tool that helps developers decide whether to run their applications on AWS EC2 or Lambda. Launched in 2017, it guides users through comparing the two services based on their specific needs and workload characteristics. The tool is designed for engineers evaluating AWS deployment options who want a straightforward way to weigh the tradeoffs between traditional server instances and serverless functions.
