If I missed the notification that an infinite loop was costing 13 cents a minute by the end of the day I am out almost 190$. I know the rational that Amazon has is that you would want to scale your service if you were adding hundreds of people in a single day but thats a lot less likely than an error in my code flushing a relatively considerable amount of money down the toilet. If that was not a risk though I would be using Lambda, it otherwise seems like my best option. Backend is not my forte though so if the point seems crazy I'm willing to consider any advice.
