Keeping a Lambda container in memory is probably not going to take more than 500MB of RAM. Paying a monthly minimum fee per lambda per machine per month to keep it in RAM should be an option. It would still be far cheaper than a real server.

Would you be able to explain why it'd be far cheaper than a real virtual machine? Because the ram is the most expensive part in both cases.
