So? It can run your code the way you tell it to run, but you still need to have your head on your shoulders and know what you're doing, right?
> How is it widely known?
It's quite literally covered at the start of AWS's intro to serverless courses. Unless someone started hammering code without spending a minute learning about the technology or doing any reading at all whatsoever on the topic, this is immediately clear to everyone.
Let's put it differently: have you actually looked into AWS's docs on typical lamba usecases, lambda's pricing and lambda quotas?

This sort of stuff is covered quite literally in their marketing brochures. You need to even be completely detached from their marketing to not be aware of this. Let me be clear: you need to not have the faintest idea of what you are doing at all to be oblivious to this.
There's plenty of things to criticize AWD over, but I'm sorry but this requires complete ignorance and a complete lack of even the most cursory research to not be aware.
You've been going on and on. I linked you the AWS marketing page on Lambda that includes it scales with no infrastructure and can be used for all use case.
You've had two chances to cite something on their vast marketing and documentation other than marketing brochures (are you serious?) and AWS specific training, paid or otherwise.
You even quoted the wrong part of the marketing spiel.
Just upload your code as a ZIP file or container image, and Lambda automatically and precisely allocates compute execution power and runs your code based on the incoming request or event, for any scale of traffic
ANY scale of traffic, requests or events. Just upload a ZIP or image and you're done. We know that isn't the case, don't we? Even without AWS sales people showing up personally to provide us marketing brochures they wouldn't put on their website.
