Reality check, a 1500 sqft house sold for $400k will be in an awful school district at least 45mins from downtown. You're probably looking at closer to $600k for anything decent especially if you have kids.

vanrysss··on Ask HN: What's been your experience with AWS Lambda?
I don't recommend building your API with it unless your engineers' ops skills are on point. I'm currently contracting for an org that is transitioning from java & clojure services hosted in a colo backed by postgres to full on lambdas written in node backed by dynamoDB. They've built a very impressive Rube-Goldberg machine for taking some data from an etl process, inserting it in dynamo, and then retrieving when an endpoint is hit. In the meantime code quality and development speed have taken a nose-dive with a very important deadline looming in the near future.

Lambdas are great for event-driven tasks and cronjobs though.
