We only need to pay for the compute time our code consumes. The solution does not cost much.

AWS Lambda is a cheap solution. The solution has a generic pricing before being triggered. After triggering, we need to pay the bill based on how much time the server runs.

The pricing varies based on the specific solution you're implementing, and in comparison to the value it provides, the overall cost is reasonable. When used appropriately for its intended purpose, the price is relatively low. However, if Lambda is employed outside its intended scope, the cost can escalate exponentially. I would rate it four out of ten.

I think the price is okay. However, if they add more functionality, they can have better prices. In fact, they should have better and more flexible packages for clients who have greater consumption of Lambda.

I would rate the tool’s pricing a nine out of ten. The solution’s pricing works on a pay-as-you-go basis.

The price is expensive and is based on usage. The more users you have the higher the cost.

Lambda is an affordable solution. They offer free requests every month and charge per the compute time. If you are working in a big organization, usually AWS offer a savings plan where you get approximately 70% discount on pricing. If one is very affordable and ten is expensive, I would rate this solution a two out of ten. Costing is per account. Production will involve a higher cost.

Licensing costs are reasonable even though you have to pay for the computation and for the volume of data. Once the work is done, the storage is freed up so you only get charged for the instance.

The solution is part of the AWS subscription model that is paid annually. There is no charge for monthly usage. There are many calculation criteria for AWS services or licenses. It is difficult to say whether the solution reasonably priced or expensive. Each company weighs price against the benefits and efficiencies provided by the solution.

AWS Lambda's cloud version isn't expensive, and I'd rate its pricing as five out of five.

There's two charges for this solution. There's the charge for how many times you call a Lambda function, which is 20 cents for every million function calls. Then there's also the size and amount of time that the Lambda function runs, which is measured as 0.0000166667 dollars. It's a fraction of a penny for every gigabyte second. A gigabyte, if you ran it for like a million seconds, would cost one dollar. It computes by the cycle, and it's very cheap.

You're not paying for a server if you're not using it, which is another reason I like it. So, you're not paying if you're not using it. It scales, and you're charged based on usage. It all depends on the use case. Some can be extremely inexpensive if you have very low volume transaction rates. That way, you don't have to fire up and absorb the cost of the servers just sitting there waiting for a transaction to come through. You're only paying when you use it. So, depending upon the use model, Lambda could be highly efficient relative to an EC2 solution. You don't have to have things reallocated.

The price of the solution is reasonable. On a scale of one to five, with one being very expensive and five being competitive, I would rate Lambda a four.

The cost is based on the number of Lambdas used if I'm not mistaken. It's only a usage charge, not a license charge.

AWS Lambda is a very inexpensive solution. They charge for the number of times we run it. If you run AWS Lambda for one time, they charge around 50 cents or 25 cents for the use. I don't know the exact price, but it's less than a dollar.

If you need to deploy it to a license, the first server you use you need to pay for a license. If you're going to open-source, there are no licenses required.

When you try some services, with Amazon, the first phase is okay. When we continued with more workloads placed on Amazon, we needed to take into account the cost, as the cost to the firm becomes more and more. It can get expensive if you aren't careful.

AWS is slightly more expensive than Azure. But from a maturity perspective, AWS is way more ahead than Azure.

AWS Lambda is a compute service that lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. AWS Lambda executes your code only when needed and scales automatically, from a few requests per day to thousands per second. You pay only for the compute time you consume - there is no charge when your code is not running. With AWS Lambda, you can run code for virtually any type of application or backend service - all with zero administration. AWS Lambda runs your code on a high-availability...
