New for AWS Lambda – 1ms Billing Granularity Adds Cost Savings

New for AWS Lambda – 1ms Billing Granularity Adds Cost Savings. What I like about AWS Lambda is that it lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers, and you pay only for what you use. Since we launched Lambda in 2014. With the new 1ms billing granularity, the duration costs are: 60 million invocations * 28ms * 1G memory.

What I like about  AWS Lambda is that it lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers, and you pay only for what you use. Since we  launched Lambda in 2014, you have been charged for the number of times your code is triggered (requests) and for the time your code executes, rounded up to the nearest 100ms (duration).

Starting today, we are rounding up duration to the nearest millisecond with no minimum execution time.

With this new pricing, you are going to pay less most of the time, but it’s going to be more noticeable when you have functions whose execution time is much lower than 100ms, such as low latency APIs.

For example, let’s look at a simple web app that I have running. In the  Amazon CloudWatch Logs, for each invocation there is a REPORT line. To improve readability, I am breaking the REPORT line into three lines here:

REPORT RequestId: 35a7e0cb-4902-490d-b8d3-eb315dded660
Duration: 27.40 ms  Billed Duration: 100 ms Memory Size: 1024 MB  Max Memory Used: 472 MB

Serverless is a great approach to build highly scalable applications quickly with mentioned services. When AWS launched Lambda back in 2014, the whole new concept of Serverless evolved. It became one of the most successful services from AWS today. It is the right time to learn Cloud computing as a developer.

AWS re:Invent 2020 had a ton of huge announcements, but you'll be the most surprised by all the new announcements for Serverless infrastructure. I gather the...

Today we'll present to you AWS re:Invent: The five most important Serverless announcements. Webiny's top 5 picks on serverless announcements. We've been active during the past three weeks on live announcements of AWS re:Invent, focusing on the serverless news that can affect the way we develop software solutions from the cost and performance perspective.

Serverless Express enables you to easily host Express.js APIs on AWS Lambda and AWS HTTP API. Here is how to get started and deliver a Serverless Express.js based API with a custom domain, free SSL certificate and much more!

Adding Code to AWS Lambda, Lambda Layers, and Lambda Extensions Using Docker. With Docker, we have three ways to add code to Lambda that isn’t directly part of our Lambda function. Try to AWS Lambda, Lambda Layers, and Lambda Extensions Using Docker.
