The issue of the application artifact size is definitely real and it blocks some NLP/ML workloads for sure. Consider that a today problem that isn't hard in Lambda.
But we've 100% got customers doing near realtime streaming analytics in complicated pipelines feeding off of things like Kinesis Data Streams. This FINRA example is one datapoint: https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/case-studies/finra-data-val... and this Thompson Reuters one: https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/case-studies/thomson-reuter...
These are nontrivial and business critical workloads.
