We aren't a company that uses Lambda at scale but we have exposure to a few thousand AWS customers' cloud costs and I definitely say that the customers who are all-in using Lambda are saving a lot of money relative to their container/EC2 counterparts. That being said, I see very few companies "all in" on Lambda these days at an organizational level. It's still the exception - I think you need to be very intentional with its use at an organizational level architecture wise...but I see a lot of companies with sprinkles of Lambda usage here and there.

Source/Disclosure: I am Co-Founder and CEO at https://www.vantage.sh/ - a cloud cost platform tracking in the hundreds of millions of dollars of annualized cloud spend.

Off topic/feedback: I like the look of your service and it's something I've been thinking about looking into recently. I have even used the EC2 instance type list a ton without ever realising that it was attached to your site.

However, I'm afraid that I sadly would not touch your service, because SSO is only on your enterprise plan. I hope that eventually you might consider putting SSO on one of the priced tiers.

(https://sso.tax/ approximates my opinion)

Thanks for that feedback.

I've mentioned this publicly before on HN: we are happy to offer anyone SAML SSO even if you fit into our Pro/Business tiers. We have configured "Enterprise" tiers for folks below $200/month and it is no sweat on our end. It just takes some pre-provisioning on our end that usually comes with more direct engagements with Enterprise customers.

Anecdotally, typically _very_ few customers in the self-service tiers make mention of this. It's something we need to message better on our marketing site but for onlookers here, know the option is available to you.
