Keeping a worker service running 24/7 means you’re paying for something that’s often just sitting there—running, waiting, and doing no valuable work. In this episode, we flip that model on its head with AWS Lambda. Instead of maintaining a long-running container on an orchestrator that costs money even when it’s idle, Lambda lets you react to messages only when there’s real work to do. If you’ve ever looked at your always-on services and wondered why you’re burning budget just to “be ready,” this video explains the shift to event-driven execution and why it can be a better fit for message processing.

We Are .NET

Running a worker service 24/7 on a container orchestrator costs money even when idle. AWS Lambda offers a cost-efficient alternative by executing code only in response to messages, eliminating the waste of paying for idle compute time.
