They report 3.3B function invocations for 2.3B requests served, a total of 61,000 hours of execution time and 1,500 concurrent executions at peak.
Using calculator.aws, simply entering the number of requests at 67ms each (61k hours/3.3B invocations) with 128 MB of memory each computes a cost of only $1,107.
Then of course there's bandwidth, databases, file storage, and a lot more… but 3.3B lambda executions for $1.1k is really cheap. Not to mention that a client like the BBC would benefit from negotiated pricing with significant discounts. Even without discounts, serverless is often pretty cheap.
