Search AWS, Tuesday, August 20th, 2024
AWS Lambda is an event-driven cloud computing service from Amazon Web Services (AWS) that allows developers to run code without having to provision, administer, or manage compute resources.
This service is one well-known example of serverless architecture as well as a popular cloud computing concept called function as a service (FaaS).
Benefits of AWS Lambda
One of the main benefits of AWS Lambda is that it enables development teams to run code in response to events, such as HTTP requests via Amazon Application Programming Interface Gateway (Amazon API Gateway), without worrying about the management of servers and other infrastructure.
With this service, Amazon manages the servers, maintains the operating system, provisions capacity, deploys code and security patches, monitors and logs code, and takes care of automatic scaling and logging. This allows developers to focus on writing application code and quickly move code from ideation to production.
