What are the costs associated with using Python Lambda functions?

The costs of using Python Lambda functions primarily depend on the number of requests and the duration of execution. AWS charges based on the number of requests and the compute time used.

Can you break down the pricing structure for me?

Sure! AWS Lambda pricing includes:

1. Requests: The first 1 million requests per month are free, and after that, it's $0.20 per million requests.
2. Duration: You are charged for the time your code executes, rounded up to the nearest 1ms. The first 400,000 GB-seconds per month are free.

Are there any additional costs I should be aware of?

Yes, additional costs may include data transfer fees, storage costs for any data stored in AWS services, and costs for other AWS services that your Lambda function interacts with.

How can I optimize costs when using Lambda?

To optimize costs, you can:

1. Minimize execution time by optimizing your code.
2. Use the right memory allocation for your functions.
3. Monitor usage and adjust your functions based on demand.
