One thing to mention... If you're using AWS Lambda in particular, just use the largest option, you'll usually save enough time to overcome the extra cost as you get more compute with the added memory. Also, if your job *might* take more than 3 minutes, then Lambda is a risk as iirc there's a 5 minute max.
Would be better to use the DOM classList[1] API, which is already available on all major browsers for a couple generations now (limited support in IE).
I will say, if you're using React, this is a bit lighter than the classnames[2] module, which would be my own preference. However, knowledge of Array methods (map, reduce, etc) can accomplish the same without an external dependency, or the runtime wrapping likely to happen.

Interesting read... really applicable to very large organizations that would want to distribute portions of visibility to different development organizations and teams.
For example, a large financial institution may want a consistent interface for header, footer and navigation, where each subsite will need to reuse/register their place in the larger application.
This is a very deep well in practice and there are infinite combinations and no perfect solution, only combinations of good enough in this space (imho).
This article is just wrong... it seems to be confusing `async function` and the `async` module in npm. Do *NOT* follow this article's advice...
Should I just delete the link?
While JS is my favorite language... and it's more broadly available than pretty much anything else. It's also probably the most widely used (by nature of web dev). All of these things said, it's a poor language for a beginner to learn programming concepts with.
IMHO, if you are visually oriented and/or starting from a designer or front end perspective, JS might be the best choice to start with (this assumes you have some HTML and CSS knowledge to leverage). If you are coming from ground zero and want to learn programming, Python is probably the best language to start with.
Python was created as a learning language and has expanded into many areas. The learning content for Python is very broad without diving into hardware/cs concepts to get your feet wet.
I say this as someone that loves JS, and doesn't really know any significant Python at all.
