Say you have a pet project that does 500 to a 1000 API requests per day. If you stick that into a Lambda, you have 0 running cost are close to zero due to AWS free tier.
- Xeoncross 9y agoAre you talking about a project that does 1000 AWS API requests a day?
- seangrogg 9y agoNot the parent, but I assume he means an application that itself takes in 1000 requests per day. At the free tier your options include, on a monthly basis: * a single EC2 t2.nano box with 0.5gb memory and 1vcpu * 1,000,000 requests (or 40,000 gb-seconds worth of requests) to your lambdas Assuming you're taking in less than 1m requests monthly the lambdas will handle traffic spikes much more gracefully than the small VM will; as well, since it's not an either-or proposition this also means you still have a free VM you can do something with.
- Shoothe 9y agoI wouldn't be so sure. I've got a simple email to http service running on AWS and while I'm sending no more than 50 emails to this service I still get billed cents. If I was thinking about running something like this in production I'd definitely use a cheap VPS.
