I'm intrigued by network usage being "unlimited". Does this mean unlimited streaming of 10GB of video for a little over 3 USD/month?
They have per-second billing. Use it as serverless.
5 second boot time though. Better than a normal VM, but maybe not great for user facing serverless.
Yeah, batch job, cron are the better fit. I also think serverless != FaaS.
How is it better than a normal VM (or have I misunderstood)? You can get a full VPS with dedicated IP on OVH, Hetzner & co. for EUR 3.50/month.
Just pointing out that the 5 second boot time is better than a regular VPS. Which (combined with per second billing) makes this good for batch/cron oriented serverless functionality. But is too slow for "function as a service" type serverless where the end user is waiting for it to fire in a browser.
Boot time is better than a normal VM.

OVH servers you're lucky if you get it in 5 minutes, not 5 seconds.

AWS is more like 60 seconds

5 seconds boot + per-second billing is the killer feature.
