MeshLine
A practical example
Example: a function that scores an inbound lead and appends the score to the CRM record fits FaaS well; a function that must hold session state across many steps or run for minutes does not.
What to evaluate before investing
- What is the maximum execution time per invocation, and what happens when it is exceeded?
- How does the function receive state — must every invocation rebuild context from external stores?
- What events can trigger the function, and can it be invoked from your MAP and CRM both?
Limitations and tradeoffs
Statelessness forces every invocation to fetch its own context, adding latency and external calls; logic that needs shared state may outgrow the function model.
