Hot take: The real cost of serverless isn't compute, it's the data transfer fees.

I've been prototyping a small API using Lambda. The compute costs seem trivial, even with spikes. But I'm pulling data from an S3 bucket in a different region and the bill surprised me.

Does anyone have real numbers on this? How do you architect around it? Is moving the data to the same region the only real fix, or are there other patterns?
