They're also good for extremely bursty loads. I use Lambdas extensively for a radar imagery API that delivers the images for an Android live wallpaper that shows weather radar.
That particular use case can go from hardly any traffic at all to a hurricane of traffic during something like, well, a hurricane.
For consistent processing loads, I think I could save money by just running on dedicated EC2 instances, but you cannot beat the instant scale of Lambdas.
