How to build a microservice with AWS Lambda in Groovy
@benorama shows how to develop and deploy a Groovy microservice with AWS Lambda. I was not aware of AWS Lambda and it looks really interesting. With AWS Lambda you pay only for what you use.

I can see myself using it as a backend service for small mobile apps.
