Thanks for the links, some of these posts are amazing! They came at the right time as I'm refactoring a huge Rails app with high response times.

Yeah. We have a few Lambda functions sprinkled in which we can mock in test and/or dev. We also use some SaaS services with about the same pattern. It definitely pays to have good habits around wrapping services and then working with them like any part of your app.

You are immediately taking on monitoring and possible deployment complexity with these services but if done right I think it's a helpful approach.
