Lambda - Serverless Architecture
Explore the fundamentals of AWS Lambda as a serverless compute service that runs code in response to events. Understand Lambda’s architecture, benefits like automatic scaling and cost efficiency, and how it integrates with services like S3 and DynamoDB to build event-driven applications.
We'll cover the following...
What is Lambda?
The evolution or timeline of Lambda looks something like this:
On-Prem DataCenter –> IAAS –> PaaS –> containerization/Docker –> Serverless
Lambda is a compute service where you can upload your code and create a Lambda function. AWS Lambda takes care of provisioning and managing the servers that you use to run the code. You do not have to worry about operating systems, patching, scaling etc.
It is essentially described as an event-driven compute service where AWS Lambda runs your code in response to events. These events could be ...
