If you know that you'll need more than 8 minutes, why wouldn't you just run ffmpeg on EC2? EC2 is now pay-per-second. I haven't looked at the prices recently, is AWS lambda so much cheaper that it's worth jumping through all these extra hoops?

You can encode about 1 video per EC2 medium instance without losing >1:1 encoding speed. It’s horrendously expensive.
