They could re implement the solution in AWS to use Serverless
Only pay per requests: API Gateway/Lambda/Dynamo
Then there's no fixed costs or the need to share these services with unrelated services.
Works great for dev/staging environments (will probably cost 1$ per month each for low usage) and even prod could go a long way before becoming "expensive"
(We're doing that a lot in my company, the CDN caches 85% of requests coming to our serverless stack, with most responses having only 1/2 min cache times)
