Exactly. I've always found that how people want to use lambda is the exact opposite of how to use it cost effectively. I've seen a lot of people want to use lambdas as rest endpoints and effectively replace their entire API with a cluster of lambdas.

Then all the sudden the cost is pretty dang competitive.
