Serverless Multi-Cloud Cost Optimization & Selection Proxy

📌 Background

In 2026, competition among serverless platforms—AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Run, and Tencent Cloud SCF—has intensified. When Chinese companies expanding overseas deploy functions to Singapore, unit computing prices are about 25% higher than the US East benchmark (measured by service providers), while Tokyo and Hong Kong are both 20% higher. Under the same scenario, Cloud Run's default configuration is 87% more expensive than Lambda and SCF is about 10% cheaper, but multi-cloud billing is still difficult to audit independently. This creates an entry point for dedicated optimization and selection proxy services.
