Lambda is not crazy expensive. It’s expensive if you’re running something 24/7 in place of a physical server or VM.



It would be nice if I could still use all lambda functionality and tooling but instead have it running in my own vms with long time commitment.


Not quite sure I follow. But I built an asp.net api and deployed it into lambda and it cost $2/m and when it started to get more traffic and the cost got to $20/m I moved it to a t4g instance.

When I moved it, I didn’t need to make any code changes :) I just made a systemd file and deployed it.
