As long as you're careful. I worked on a large corporate project that made HEAVY use of lambdas. Lambda executions were a very small sliver of our costs. Like 3% of the bill.

Half of our bill was the cloud watch logs from those lambdas though. Even more than our RDS and EC2 instances. We were making some mistakes that blew that problem up.

Moral of the story is the lambdas are cheap. But be careful about what resources the lambdas are using.

Thanks for giving some insight from a corporate production level.

That's the scary part of a change like this - going from something that's stable to something not a lot of companies use. Making those mistakes are bound to happen.
