TCP/IP over Amazon Cloudwatch Logs

If AWS Lambda is described as "serverless", I guess this could be called "networkless"?

using AWS services in a way that might horrify some AWS engineering teams

..and probably greatly pleases the finance department.

As a Lambda engineer, I can happily report that we found this very amusing.

I'm curious about something similar using S3 as the transport.

SQS could be interesting too.

Nice Scanner Darkly references :-) Only last night, I rewatched it

While a great hack, this isn’t that interesting. You still have to pay for CloudWatch utilization and the speed isn’t that great. You could really chose any Service to log data to and achieve this.

Interesting is in the eye of the beholder.

There's also TCP/IP over chat (XMPP, including Facebook's old chat).
