They are fast to setup and require zero care and feeding. That's the big "time to market" cost.
Beyond that, depends on your use case. I love using Lambda for webhooks that may be called anywhere from a few times a day to thousands of times per day. Once they get to the point of being "oh wow, this one lambda is expensive", you can clearly afford the budget to move it to a real server. But below that $20/mo mark (which is more than 5 million invocations of a small function) - you're golden.
- ijidak 5y agoMy lambda bill is $4,000 per month for 21,000,000 invocations per month. Something seems off compared to your numbers. Maybe the length of a single execution?
- theshrike79 5y agoLambda cost is invocation time * memory size pretty much. If your lambda bill is $4k a month, either your functions run multiple seconds each or you're using multiple gigs of memory.
