That ballpark is not even close to the park. My company spends ~$500/month on AWS Lambda and we're doing about 2M/req/day with Bref. There's still 12B 940M requests to account for

Thank you, and sorry about that!

How come Lambda is so expensive for you?

At 13000M invocations/mo, that's $2600 in requests. Is it the GB-seconds duration charge that get you?

The GB-second is the relevant cost of AWS Lambda. # of invocations is pretty irrelevant.

60'000'000 requests

1536MB RAM

300ms response avg

(calculation includes free tier):

Request costs: $11.80/month

Execution costs: $443.42/month

Total AWS Lambda costs: $455.22/month

I see, thank you for the explanation! Sorry for my mistaken assumptions.
