We are talking lambdas here, not 1TB ram workers.

I had to run a authenticated webhook forwarder outside of the out firewall. Yes, I could have made a real machine, but I've made a lambda instead. It's costing us less than $2/month and I spend zero energy on maintenance, security checks, etc. And all config is in a single git repo that anyone can read and understand - there is zero chance of someone ssh'ing into server for a quick fix, then forgetting to record what they did.

Real machines are great for heavy loads, but you just cannot beat lambdas for the lightweight stuff.
