What is AWS Lambda ? AWS Lambda is a serverless computing service provided by Amazon Web Services ( AWS ). Users of AWS Lambda create functions, self-contained applications written in one of the supported languages and runtimes, and upload them to AWS Lambda , which executes those functions in an efficient and flexible manner. The Lambda functions can perform any kind of computing task, from serving web pages and processing streams of data to calling APIs and integrating with other AWS services ... You write and organize your code in Lambda functions, which are the basic building blocks you use to create a Lambda application. You control security and access through Lambda permissions, using execution roles to manage what AWS services your functions can interact with and what resource policies can interact with your code. By combining AWS Lambda with other AWS services, developers can build powerful web applications that automatically scale up and down and run in a highly available configuration across multiple data centers – with zero administrative effort required for scalability, back-ups, or multi-data center redundancy. AWS Lambda participates in Compute Savings Plans, a flexible pricing model that offers low prices on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), AWS Fargate, and Lambda usage, in exchange for a commitment to a consistent amount of usage (measured in $/hour) for a one- or three-year term.
