Assumptions & Limitations
- AWS Lambda pricing benchmark: $0.20 per 1M requests; $0.0000166667 per GB-second.
- Free tier includes 1,000,000 invocations and 400,000 GB-seconds every month.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is serverless cheaper than dedicated servers?
Serverless is vastly cheaper for unpredictable, sporadic, or bursty traffic because you pay $0 when traffic is idle. For continuous, high-throughput 24/7 compute, dedicated containers become more cost-effective.
