Serverless implications
Serverless architectures are a unique costing challenge. Most of the effective cost optimization efforts fall in writing effective code in order to reduce the code's execution time or the number of executions required. This is evident from the pricing model of serverless code execution services such as AWS Lambda, which charges based on the number of executions, execution time, and allocated memory to the container that runs the code (https://s3.amazonaws.com/lambda-tools/pricing-calculator.html). Memory size can be optimized by tracking the amount of memory used per execution (this can be tracked in AWS CloudWatch).
Other serverless cloud services, such as AWS Kinesis and Athena, follow a similar data-based pricing ...
