AWS Lambda

What is AWS Lambda?
● AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service through which you can run your code without provisioning any Servers.
● It only runs your code when needed and also scales automatically when the request count increases.
● AWS Lambda follows the Pay per use principle – it means there is no charge when your code is not running.
● Lambda allows you to run your code for any application or backend service with zero administration.
● Lambda can run code in response to the events. Example – update in DynamoDB Table or change in S3 bucket.
● You can even run your code in response to HTTP requests using Amazon API Gateway.
