Yep. It's good old fashioned webhosting. Drop your files in the amazon equivalent of ~/public-html/ . If it serves your needs, it's not a bad thing, but it's hardly revolutionary.
- michaelt 10y agoIs there any other service where I can run arbitrary code and be billed in increments of 100ms or less?
- pmontra 10y agoWebhosting usually have a flat monthly fee so maybe Lambda it's more like old fashioned mainframe timesharing, billed per resource usage. Not that I was there in its heydays but the two concepts seem very similar. A consequence is that you really want to terminate quickly and use little RAM. If your JS function terminates in 110 ms and get billed for two 100 ms units you might be tempted to switch to a faster language (or ASM what you can) to save half the bill. Webhosting doesn't have that dynamic.
