### 🧠 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
