### **🧠 About the Session**

Let’s be honest — **Kubernetes isn’t always the right answer.**
While containers offer flexibility and control, they also come with operational overhead, higher costs, and the need for specialized expertise.

In this session, we’ll explore the **real-world trade-offs between using containers and AWS Lambda**, drawing on a recent evaluation of whether Lambda could replace Amazon EKS for a production deployment.

You’ll gain practical insights into:

* When serverless functions make more sense than containers
* Cost, performance, and migration considerations
* How to make informed architectural decisions for your workloads

***

### **👥 Who Should Attend**

This event is ideal for:

* Cloud & DevOps engineers evaluating deployment options
* Solution architects designing scalable systems
* Developers curious about serverless and modern containerization approaches
