It's a steal for mediocre organizations where traditional development of even a simple proxy to some other AWS service would be a couple months' planning and launch late with show-stopping bugs, eating a couple man-months total before reaching stability and ultimately serving only a few thousand requests before getting shelved. In circumstances like these, I've estimated per-request costs of systems at tens of dollars.
