A lot of hobby and or small websites and business could benefit from a pay-per-ms model like AWS Lambda.

It's literally pennies in some cases, vs. renting a server that sits idle 99% of the time.

What "hobby and or small websites and business" deal with medium to high amount of traffic? Those seems to strictly fall into the "low amount of traffic" bucket.

Besides, you could either rent a $5/month VPS that you know will always be $5/month, or you can use AWS Lambda and never know what your bill is gonna be at the end. Your new blogpost hit frontpage of HN? Good news, your bill is now $40 for this month.

Most (85% maybe) of my clients I work with want consistent costs over cheaper costs.

A can rent a few €/month VM that is idling all the time but who cares, or struggle developing with AWS Lambda and risk paying orders of magnitude more.
