Amazon pricing calculator
This calculator helps you estimate the cost of hosting your website on Amazon based on the number of requests, the amount of memory used, and the time it takes to execute the function. Pagesize, function runtime, and allocated memory may not affect the price of a provider if the provider is based on per request pricing. But if the provider is using runtime based pricing, these parameters will affect the cost of the functions.
Why is serverless hosting expensive?
Typically the expensive part of serverless hosting is the amount of function invocations. Complex pages can easily have 5-10 function invocations per visit, i.e. authentication, database queries, data massaging. Serverless hosting breaks your code into functions that are executed when a request is made. The cost of these functions is based on the number of requests, the amount of memory used, and the time it takes to execute the function. Some providers charge per request, some charge per function execution time, some charge per memory used. This calculator helps you estimate the cost of hosting your website on Amazon based on the number of requests, the amount of memory used, and the time it takes to execute the function.

It can be hard to calculate Amazon cloud hosting pricing
This is why we made our calculators, to help you estimate the costs of using the providers services.
Sometimes the providers deliberately make it hard to get an easy overview of costs and what use cases lead to expensive bills.
