I have a basic app concept that I want to create and give to a few of my clients who are Shopify merchants. All the app does is once a week runs a custom export of their order data and spit out a CSV. Trying to keep this simple and cheap. Could I run this on AWS Lambda?
Take a look at Gadget. They offer a free plan.

Yes, however cold starts will affect the critical routes like OAuth, or settings loading.
So I highly recommend at least keeping them warm with a cron job or something similar.
But I have personally been using Lambda for Shopify apps in production for 3+ years and it does work great.

I believe running it on Koyeb or Northflank would be simple and straight forward for this, instead of falling into the serverless trap of cold starts and time based limits. Both services offer generous free plans and are great with reliability
