From chunk encoding to assembly and packaging, the result of each previous processing step must be uploaded to cloud storage and then downloaded by the next processing step. Since not all projects are terabytes projects, allocating the largest cloud storage to all packager instances is not an efficient use of cloud resources.

When AWS launched, it changed how developers thought about IT services: What used to take weeks or months of purchasing and provisioning turned into minutes with Amazon EC2. Capital-intensive storage solutions became as simple as PUTting and GETting objects in Amazon S3. Our answer is a new compute service called AWS Lambda.
