Have they figured out how to make API Gateway not cost an arm and a leg yet? I absolutely adore Lambda for side projects, but every time I wire up API Gateway I'm worried I'm going to saddle myself with a huge bill.
- niyazpk 6y agoI haven't compared API Gateway to other services. Looks like it costs $1 per 1 million HTTP calls. That does not sound very costly if you are talking about just side projects which may not generate close to a million requests?
- asymptotic 6y agoAPI Gateway came out with a cheaper variant (called HTTP APIs, admittedly a poor name) that is $1 per 300 million requests (114 requests per second for a month): https://aws.amazon.com/api-gateway/pricing/ https://aws.amazon.com/api-gateway/pricing/ You can also hook up an Application Load Balancer to Lambdas if that works for you: https://aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/pricing/ https://aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/pricing/
- Pfhreak 6y agoThat's $1/million requests for the first 300m requests each month, not $1/300m requests. It still increases the cost of running Lambda a whole lot, but that seems pretty reasonable for the projects I'm running.
- asymptotic 6y agoYou are correct, I misread this.
