Lambda Millisecond Billing

 

Top 5 Features of AWS Lambda during AWS ReInvent 2020     

1. One millisecond billing - helps to pay for value with millisecond granularity
2. Larger function sizes - supports the allocation up to 10GB of memory, 3X increase
3. Container Image Support - benefits sub-second auto-scaling, high availability and native integrations
4. CloudWatch Lambda Insights - collects and summarizes the performance metrics
5. Streaming analytics - lightweight solution for stream aggregations: count, max, average, etc.

 

Here, I want to highlight the top feature 'one millisecond billing' .

With the recent release, AWS Lambda reduces the efficient billing granularity for the customers from 100ms to 1ms.  Eventually, it generates the largest cost benefits even for the short-lived functions.

Effective with December 2020 billing cycle, the customer can save up to 70% on Lambda functions
