We see Lambda as a building block. For creating web apps you need more than a runtime, in most cases you need a DB, login and permissions, UI, etc.
For small ideas/tools (our target use cases) we offer you most of what you need with as little config as possible (ideally none) – things just work. For example in your Deta Micro, you can just import our Database (Deta base) and store data and it just works, no config required. Soon we will launch Deta Drive, then email, then cron... you get the idea.
We also have permissions built-in, so you can give your colleagues a run-only access.
We also focus more on the developer experience more than others, devs should feel as a first class citizen in the cloud. We think this will free them to be more creative.
We have lots of other features that we will announce soon: real-time debugging, online editing, etc.
