It may be product positioning, but Lambda really stems from AWS desire to do something about the dismal utilisation ratio of their most expensive bill item: Servers [0].
I speculate, 1min or 15mins workloads are optimum to schedule and run uncorrelated workloads. Any more, and it may diminish returns?

- cinquemb 5y agoI loved using spot instances for managing scaling for a startup i worked at, saved alot of money instead of using these services they provide.
- ignoramous 5y agoI find myself favour Serverless more while it continues to mature, and generally have fewer complaints. Btw, you'd like AWS Batch: It is a hassle-free, zero-code way to run batch / uncritical workloads on Spots. https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/spot/use-case/batch/ https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/spot/use-case/batch/
