I realize they are starting with node.js, but I wonder how this will work? It sounds like they plan to support arbitrary dependencies. Will you upload a Docker container with your necessary dependencies? They talk about milliseconds until your code is running, and containers may be (?) slower than that. Or am I hoping for too much.
It's definitely possible to do this if you're not set on containers.
We do it at http://wym.io/ by putting our runtime library in the environment that the code runs in and keeping the runtimes around, keeping the environment clean along the way.
We're working towards doing all that (and more than) Lambda does in a deploy-your-own fashion...
