Does anyone have an idea how to run Node-Red as AWS Lambda? Currently, I am running Node-Red on EC2 and using other AWS services such as DynamoDB and S3, thinking Lambda will be more flexible rather than EC2.
Understand startup time for Lambda will be longer but a workaround is triggering Lambda every a few hours/ minutes to keep it active.

I thought the whole point of lambdas was to NOT keep them running. You pay for when they run.
