Question on how to architecture something

So I'm thinking of a project that I want to attempt, but I'm struggling to figure out the best way to handle this. Wondering if some of you could help me out with a plan:Goal: Have inside my home network (or anyone's who uses it) a Pi/Docker instance running node, that can receive "commands" to start/stop music on my local lan (using the new Sonos API) or other similar services. Commands issued from a Lambda/Google Function.Problem: I'd like to not have to have a user/myself open ports on a home router to use this.Will I need to have an always on 'server' or something in the cloud (EC2) with a pub/sub going on to accomplish this? Is there an AWS service/Google service that does this (that's cheaper than an EC2), or does IFTTT have something like this?Hopefully this makes some sense. Thanks for anyone's help.
