Understanding and Controlling AWS Lambda Costs

  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • baresoil-benchmark-image-resizer

    Benchmark for an image processing service running on a Baresoil cluster on AWS.

  • A fixed-sized cluster of 20 c4.2xlarge spot instances can resize at least 120,449 images per hour for a total cost of $1.82 per hour, using a median of 1 second of processing time per image ( code and data). This can be taken as a lower bound on the performance of an EC2 spot fleet where work is distributed evenly across nodes.

  • Previous Serverless Version 0.5.x

    ⚡ Serverless Framework – Use AWS Lambda and other managed cloud services to build apps that auto-scale, cost nothing when idle, and boast radically low maintenance.

  • Expect a price war soon. The serverless FaaS model is already heading towards a degree of organic standardization when it comes to features and interfaces, helped by frameworks like the Serverless Framework. Once serverless FaaS becomes a commodity cloud service, providers may only have room to compete on pricing. We can already see that Google has chosen different rates than Amazon and Microsoft, opting for a lower GB-sec rate but a higher per-request rate. In the future, some things we could conceivably expect are native spot (preemptible) pricing for serverless FaaS, and a lower slope to the cost curves shown in the earlier chart.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • aws-lambda-java-libs

    Official mirror for interface definitions and helper classes for Java code running on the AWS Lambda platform.

  • AWS Lambda is the archetype of a class of cloud computing products called serverless functions-as-a-service, or FaaS.
