"Our old server infrastructure cost thousands of dollars each month just for server costs.

Using the new Lambda infrastructure, we pay for the number of Lambda invocations, the total duration of the requests, and the number of S3 requests. This comes out to $60/monthfor hundreds of thousands of CRISPR searches!"

Well, how much of that money you spent on EBS storage for your copies of genome data?

EC2 instances could read from S3 directly as lambda does, maybe that could alleviate the cost a lot.

Using AMI S3 backed instances could save a lot too.

But great work, nonetheless!
