Lambda Functions
Explore the fundamentals of AWS Lambda functions and serverless computing. Understand how Lambda allows you to run event-driven code without server management, optimizing costs and scalability. Discover practical use cases like processing image uploads, and learn how Lambda differs from traditional compute services like EC2.
We'll cover the following...
AWS Lambda allows us to run code without managing servers. It lets us execute functions in response to events, such as changes in data, user actions, or time triggers. We pay only for the compute time our code consumes, making it cost-effective and scalable. It supports various programming languages, making it accessible to various applications and developers. AWS Lambda is amongst the core serverless computing services offered by AWS.
Let’s start this lesson with a brief introduction to serverless computing.
