Why developers choose LiteLambda

Skip the AWS IAM roles, EventBridge rules, and CloudWatch setup. Just write Python and set a schedule.

Capability	LiteLambda Starter	AWS Lambda + EventBridge
Cost for daily Python scripts	$4.99/mo	~$1–5/mo + hours of dev time
Setup time	Under 5 minutes	2–4 hours (IAM, VPC, layers)
pip package support	Built-in selector or requirements	Requires Lambda Layers / Docker build
Built-in KV Store	`context.kv` (Zero DB setup)	Requires DynamoDB or Redis instance
Failure alerts	Slack, Discord, Telegram & Email	CloudWatch Alarms + SNS topics
Browser automation	Playwright supported natively	Custom Chromium layers & binary hacks
AI Code Assistant	Built-in script generator & troubleshooter	None

Unlock More Power as You Grow

Paid plans not only give you more credits, but also unlock heavier compute tiers for demanding workloads. You only pay for what you provision per run.

I replaced my whole AWS Lambda setup with LiteLambda. No YAML, no IAM roles, no 2-hour setup. Just paste code and go. Easily worth $5 a month to get my time back.

Frequently asked questions

LiteLambda is the easiest serverless alternative to AWS Lambda for running Python cron jobs. You do not need to configure IAM roles, EventBridge, or VPCs. Simply paste your Python code, set a cron expression, and it runs automatically in a sandboxed environment.

Monthly plan credits are refreshed each billing cycle — they don't roll over. However, any one-time top-up credits you purchase never expire and are consumed first.

Yes, every execution runs inside an isolated Docker sandbox. It has no network access by default unless requested. Your code and environment variables are encrypted at rest, and we do not read or share your scripts.

LiteLambda provides an embedded Key-Value store directly injected into your execution context. You can persist state between runs using context.kv.set() and context.kv.get(). No need to provision an external Redis or PostgreSQL database for simple persistent variables.

Yes, LiteLambda supports any pip package for Python 3.11. Just list your packages in the requirements field — we install them before each run using a cached layer for fast cold starts.

Absolutely. Upgrade or downgrade from your account settings. Changes take effect at the next billing cycle.

When you sign up, you get a 15-day trial with 100 credits included — no credit card required. During the trial, all features work exactly as they do on a paid plan. After 15 days, scheduled cron jobs are paused until you upgrade. Your code, logs, and configuration are kept safe.

Your scheduled cron jobs are paused. Nothing is deleted. You can still log in, view your code, and browse execution history. Upgrade any time to resume — jobs restart automatically on the next scheduled trigger.

Running sandboxed Python code costs real compute. A permanent free tier would compromise reliability for paying customers. The 15-day trial gives you enough time to build something real and decide if LiteLambda is right for you — without a credit card.

Your crons pause safely to prevent surprise bills — you will never be charged unexpected overages. Your code, logs, and configuration remain untouched. You can either purchase top-up credits at any time or wait for your plan renewal to resume executions automatically.

You get an instant alert in Slack, Discord, Telegram, or email — whichever you've configured in your settings. LiteLambda also supports automatic retries (up to 5 retries on Pro) and auto-pauses jobs with consecutive failures to protect your balance.

You can trigger jobs via incoming webhooks from GitHub Actions, CI/CD pipelines, or curl commands today. A dedicated CLI (pip install litelambda-cli) and Git-push integration are in active development.
