I have been at exactly one (web) company in my life where the cost of computing resources actually mattered, and compared to bandwidth, even that didn't matter.
The companies I have been at where computing costs did matter were doing extremely specialized, long-running calculations that are inappropriate for lambda.
I'm sure there are rare exceptions, but this all smells like premature optimization. Developer salaries are, 9.99 times out of ten, the cost you want to optimize.
