Easel Builds Own Compute Due to AWS Billing Bug
5 min read
Easel abandoned AWS Lambda Web Functions after discovering the service billed memory for 5, 7 minutes after the last request. Benchmarks ran November 11, 12, 2026, showing Easel's self-operated host was 1.5, 3× faster for warm requests and 3.5× faster for cold starts compared to AWS. The company launched its own infrastructure on November 2, 2026, to avoid these costs and performance issues.
