Re:6 lessons learned from going serverless on Thursday March 15, 2018 @05:32PM (#16596693)
I'm curious why you'd think a serverless solution would be more expensive than traditional instances once you've exceeded the free tier limits. With Lambda, you are only charged based on the number of requests and their duration. The pricing model includes 1M requests and 400,000 GB-seconds of compute time for free every month. Thereafter, its $0.20 per 1M requests. Seems very cost-effective when compared to traditional server-based solutions.
