Lambda is believed to be the most cost effective AWS service for low traffic apps and websites.

Have you experienced any kind unexpected cost spikes while using this service?

AWS Lambda is often cheaper for small or occasional workloads, but it’s not always guaranteed. Costs can rise with high invocation volume, long execution time, large memory settings, or heavy outbound data.
