perhaps I don't get it, but this seems as self-hosted solution. the key thing about AWS lambda is zero admin, not having to think about scaling and throughput, so I don't see how this is an 'alternative'. what am I missing here?

The zero admin is coming :)

However being everything simple and open you can write your own implementation and not be locked inside any infrastructure

my exact thoughts...the whole point of using Lambda is that it is hosted by Amazon. Maybe if this had some way of deploying on any cloud vendor, it could be a pretty good alternative.

However, my only use case for this would be if Amazon shut down Lambda.

Any chance of getting a JS version in the future? I'd jump on it in a heartbeat.

To run JS is necessary a way more complex architecture, I am working first on a deploying system.
