"The Free Tier – My whole scheme doesn’t work without the free tier" I know it will still be cheap, but I wonder the increase after the 1-year free tier period

  IIRC lambda's free tier is not currently timed.

  This is a free tier that's not limited to the usual one year period. From https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/pricing/ https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/pricing/ : >The Lambda free tier includes 1M free requests per month and 400,000 GB-seconds of compute time per month. The memory size you choose for your Lambda functions determines how long they can run in the free tier. The Lambda free tier does not automatically expire at the end of your 12 month AWS Free Tier term, but is available to both existing and new AWS customers indefinitely. The free tier is actually big enough to run a single 128Mb calculation for 37 days each month.

    Without the free tier that would only cost you $6.66 anyway so if your model can't work without the free tier existing it's probably not a model.

      $5/month is a small droplet at DigitalOcean, or hell, doesn't the nano server fit that?

        Yes, but it doesn't scale up easily and it doesn't scale down at all. If you are doing exactly that amount of traffic on a predictable basis the fixed server makes sense.
