AWS Lambda

• AWS Lambda is an event-driven, serverless compute service.

• Lambda enables you to run code without provisioning or managing servers.

• You create a Lambda function, which is the AWS resource that contains the code that you upload.

• You then set the Lambda function to be triggered, either on a scheduled basis or in response to an event. Your code only runs when it is triggered.

• You pay only for the compute time you consume—you are not charged when your code is not running.

• Benefits:

  • It supports multiple programming languages
  • Completely automated administration
  • Built-in fault tolerance
  • It supports the orchestration of multiple functions
  • Pay-per-use pricing
