The problem with serverless is that the VM may freeze at any point, even if not all events have been sent to APM Server.
If you are ok with potentially losing some events in these circumstances you can try it out. However, we also don't have auto-instrumentation support for AWS Lambda at the moment, so you'll need to use the Agent's public API or the OpenTracing API to manually create transactions.
