Lambda costing
Remember that we stated that one of the most significant benefits of Amazon Connect is the ability to interface with third-party applications in Chapter 1, Benefits of Amazon Connect. It is these interfaces that create a rich user experience. How you make these interfaces is through a service from Amazon called Lambda. Lambda allows the execution of snippets of code without the use of a server. This lack of dedicated compute power will enable you to reduce your ongoing operations costs significantly. An issue arises when you want to estimate how much Lambda is going to cost you. With a confidential application, you can estimate how many CPUs you need and how much RAM and then pick an AWS instance accordingly. This sizing, in turn, will allow you to look up the pricing for that instance, and you can easily calculate the monthly expenditure.
When it comes to costing Lambda, three different consumption models need to be calculated:
- The number of invocations...
