Lambda Top-level Statements

Serverless applications enable businesses to deploy highly-scalable workloads in a very cost-efficient manner. AWS Lambda is the main type of serverless application used by the highly popular Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. This course is designed to empower individuals with the skills and knowledge to develop robust and scalable AWS Lambda applications using C#.

In this course, you will embark on a hands-on learning journey, starting from the fundamentals of AWS Lambda and progressing to advanced topics. With expert guidance and practical examples, you’ll gain a solid understanding of leveraging AWS Lambda’s power to build highly efficient and cost-effective serverless architectures.

By the end of this course, you’ll have acquired the skills and confidence to develop scalable and efficient serverless applications using AWS Lambda and C#. This course will equip you with the expertise needed to harness the power of AWS Lambda and unlock the potential of serverless computing in your projects.

They are identical, but a .NET runtime executable handler is written by using C# lambda syntax.

A standard project is a class library that cannot be executed on its own, while a .NET runtime executable runs in its own process. 

A standard project can only run one function handler, while a .NET runtime executable can run multiple function handlers.

A standard project doesn't support controller endpoints, while a .NET runtime executable does.

What is the difference between a standard AWS Lambda project and a .NET runtime executable with an AWS Lambda function handler?

What is the difference between a standard AWS Lambda project and a .NET runtime executable with an AWS Lambda function handler?

Its function handler is located in the `Program.cs` class.

It's a standard ASP.NET Core application with some AWS-specific dependencies.

It can support more than one function handler.
