AWS Lambda

Introduction

AWS Lambda is a serverless computing service that lets us run code without provisioning or managing servers. We can simply upload our code to the service, where it automatically runs in a highly scalable computing infrastructure managed by AWS.

Note: The term “serverless” is used to describe an architecture style for building and running applications and services without having to manage the underlying infrastructure. In this type of architecture, cloud providers such as AWS are responsible for managing the servers, storage, and networking. As users, we just need to upload our code and set up triggers to invoke it. This allows developers to focus on writing code rather than worrying about infrastructure.

When we run our application code, we usually provision computing and storage resources (EC2, EBS, EFS, etc.) to deploy and run our application on these resources.

AWS Lambda allows us to run our code without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure. The term serverless doesn’t mean that servers ...
