For a service I built on AWS lambda, the far majority of the cost was just data egress. Unfortunately I haven’t found a competitor that offers the same kind of features that I’m using lambda for (running golang with additional custom binaries)

Azure is part of Cloudflare's Bandwidth Alliance[1]. If you use Azure's serverless functions and put your service behind Cloudflare, you'll get free egress.

I was aware of the bandwidth alliance, though looking on their KB for now it's only discounted egress [1]. Same with Google, though not part of the bandwidth alliance, data delivered through their CDN Interconnect program starts at $0.04/gb (NA) [2]

so, bandwidth cartel

If you're at under 400GB/month, Netlify may be an option, their Functions are AWS Lambdas and the paid plan ($25/month) comes with that traffic included. It's $20/100GB for extra, though, so it stops making sense for greater scale.

Both Azure and GCP let you run arbitrary containers in a serverless fashion. GCP Cloud Run is per-request too.

Yes but both still charge crazy money for the bandwidth.

(Although Azure is apart of the bandwidth alliance if you use cloudflare/b2)
