Introduction to AWS Serverless Compute Services

Serverless computing, often referred to as Function-as-a-Service (FaaS), is a cloud computing model where developers can execute code without the need to manage or provision servers explicitly. In a serverless architecture, the cloud service provider dynamically allocates and scales computing resources based on the demand for individual functions or tasks.

In this section, we will explore serverless applications and their use cases. We will also explore the serverless services provided by AWS, including Lambda function, Fargate, API Gateway, and AppSync. To understand these offerings comprehensively, we’ll explore their architectural design, features, and capabilities that illustrate true serverless computing.

Let’s dive right in without any further delay!
