    I think the title buries the lede (but was clickbaity enough for me to be interested). As stated in the article:

    The point of the comparison isn’t that Elastic Transcoder is a ripoff, it’s that Lambda can often result in significant cost savings if you have a well-defined use case that’s compatible with the limitations that Lambda imposes.

    The tip about using Exodus alone was really helpful - I learned a new thing that could be super-useful where I previously would have gone down the rabbit hole of compiling native binaries on the Lambda AMI. Good stuff!

        Exodus looks like a great piece of software. Makes me reconsider lambda for some low volume tasks.
