- 🔸Lambda is a new technology. As of mid 2016, only a few companies are using it for large-scale production applications.
- 🔸Managing lots of Lambda functions is a workflow challenge, and tooling to manage Lambda deployments is still immature.
- 🔸AWS’ official workflow around managing function [versioning and aliases](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/versioning-aliases.html) is painful.
- ❗Currently (October,2016) Lambda functions can sometimes stop working for 2-3 minutes for failure recovery purposes according to a support ticket answer from Lambda dev team. They are working to prevent this in the future.

I'm not 100% clear on what "for failure recovery purposes" means - is it 2-3 minutes while recovering from failure?

As i sad it was a support ticket response. I don't have link to it because it is in our account, but i can copy paste the exact response here.

I've received an update from the engineering team.
They replied that customer may see their stream stop processing for three minute or less very infrequently due to certain failure recovery modes in our system. Their stream processing should then resume and recover from the delay.
They are working improvements to our system that should eliminate these sorts of pauses, we don't have a solid ETA on when that will be available.

There's a huge difference between "Lambda functions can stop working" and "streams can stop processing" though. This should belong in the Kinesis section then, imo.
