Where do I get GMAIL for my Raspberry Pi? If you order that Lambda server, you get the same good Linux interface you'll get over AWS. In fact they actually seems to offer some kind of software package that you wouldn't get over AWS.
Sure AWS has value-added, but in this case, it's mostly being able to not being billed for unused hours (what we call scalability), which for many is certainly worthwhile, but that's all. Is there anything I'm missing that AWS offer?

Isn't that the case? I failed to see what's wrong in that sentence. I don't own a car, I subscribe to a service similar to Car2Go, I'm at about 150$ a month right now. Sure there's value added there, but owning one also has value added, just different ones and at one point it will be more worthwhile to own one.
If you know more, it would be really good for you to share some of what you know, so that we can all learn something. If you don't want to take the time to do that, that's fine, but in that case please don't post.
Or like saying that if you spend 20 hours every day in an Uber buying a car would be cheaper over 3 year term.
Nobody is disputing that buying similarly specced hardware on the market is likely to have a cheaper TCO, the point of cloud providers is that also have a bunch of stuff attached to the servers, which turns to be pretty important.
