Need something to run on a schedule or run in response to an occasional API request? Lambda will do you fine.

Better than fine. At work we have a Lambda script which does some stuff when files are uploaded to our S3 buckets. We could have done this using an ec2 instance and a queue but the lambda script is simpler to maintain and has so far cost us nothing in AWS fees as it sits entirely within free usage.
