DynamoDB and others have introduced similar pricing models for other types of infrastructure. Compared to more traditional architectures serverless arcitectures often represents […]

The dramatic cost savings that serverless compute can deliver are well known. However, understanding the pricing structure of AWS Lambda and predicting exactly what your first bill will look like is still very difficult. This guide, and the calculator below, will help you calculate the cost of using AWS Lambda along with additional options to […]
