Facts
- Free allowance
- 1 million requests/month · 400,000 GB-seconds/month
- Plan limits
- Public HTTPS function URLs available; 512 MB ephemeral temp storage without extra storage fee
- Storage
- 512 MB temporary /tmp filesystem included, not durable. Durable data requires separate services and pricing.
- Account
- Ongoing use requires an AWS Paid account plan with billing enabled. The introductory Free account plan is temporary.
- Retention
- Lambda’s monthly free allowance is ongoing on the AWS Paid account plan. The introductory Free account plan closes at six months or when credits run out, whichever happens first, unless upgraded.
- Custom domain
- A permanent AWS-provided function URL is included as an invocation route; attaching an owned custom domain requires other services and may cost extra.
- Password protection
- Lambda URL offers AWS_IAM or no authentication; no built-in shared human-viewer password supported.
- Billing
- Paid AWS account plan required for ongoing use. Monthly Event Functions requests and compute have a free allowance; usage above it and separately billed AWS products can incur charges.
- Execution
- Serverless event functions with HTTPS Lambda Function URL, invokes on demand; runtimes can run JavaScript, Python etc and SAM CLI deploys workload.
Worth knowing
The introductory AWS Free account plan is temporary; the continuing Lambda allowance applies with paid AWS billing enabled. Excess usage and separate resources such as logging or API Gateway can cost money.
