Cost-effective resources - Serverless Applications Lens

Cost-effective resources

COST 1: How do you optimize your costs?

Serverless architectures are easier to manage in terms of correct resource allocation. Due to its pay-per-value pricing model and scale based on demand, serverless effectively reduces the capacity planning effort.

As covered in the operational excellence and performance pillars, optimizing your serverless application has a direct impact on the value it produces and its cost.

As Lambda proportionally allocates CPU, network, and storage IOPS based on memory, the faster the initiation, the cheaper and more value your function produces due to 1-ms billing incremental dimension.
