I run 8 different production API endpoints, all on Lambda, directly through Application Load Balancer instead of API Gateway, and they served 510 million requests last month for about $200.
Those API endpoints took me about a day to deploy using serverless deployment tools. They economically scale between extremely varied workload requirements. There are no complaints on my end.
- rumanator 7y ago> and they served 510 million requests last month for about $200. In EC2, which is not cheap at all, that's between the monthly cost of one m2.2xlarge and m3.2xlarge instance, or two m2.xlarge instances, or 3 t3.large, or 7 t3.medium. In other words, you can operae a small cluster on AWS for that price tag.
- guitarbill 7y agoI don't know how I'm only hearing about this now, since it's been available since late 2018, but that sounds awesome - unlike API Gateway, which is a horrible, buggy mess that doesn't work well for anyone I've spoken to.
