Not my experience. Our AWS lambda cost is close to $1K/month and the usage isn't that much so we could easily host this on a few (for redundancy) of the smallish VPS instances for far less money.

For batch workloads (not latency sensitive, can run at or near full capacity, etc), but most of the time Lambda is more affordable. You'll need to say more about your workload though.
