Serverless: slower and more expensive

The AWS bill seems high already. $90 dollars for m1.small, which has 1 vcpu and less than 2GB memory? At my current hosting provider that machine costs less than 5euro! What am I missing? Looking at the hourly usage it seems to be the equivalent of 3 machines running 24/7, so 15 euro, but still?

The older the instance type is, the worse the price/performance is. They'd save money upgrading from the m1.small to a similar sized t2 or t3 instance.

It's not just a single instance. Look at the hours billed.

That's why I multiplied by 3.
