So... where does the data go? Maybe a simpleton question but I couldn't easily find an answer in the about section. If it's all function-based, where does the data actually get persisted?

This is a database FOR serverless style applications. It runs on servers like most databases, it's not made out of lambdas. But it's built so you don't have to worry about the details. When a traffic spike hits your app we'll keep up. And when your app is quiet, you don't pay for unused capacity.

Ooooooooooh, that makes sense now. I thought it was a database implemented as as whole series of individual lambdas and I was having a hard time figuring out how you guys pulled that one off.

Data stored "on the wire"? :D
