This is the real truth. People complain about certain services and theirs costs (Lambda being one I've heard) but I have a full side project that runs on lambda with extremely bursty traffic and it couldn't be more perfect. If I had sustained activity I might look into something else but it really does come down to picking the right tool for the job.
