AWS Lambda

This lesson is part of AWS · All levels

Summary

AWS Lambda allows you to run code as a function without having to provide or manage a server. The function is run event-driven by a trigger such as an S3 upload, API request, or SQS message, and then stops when it's done. Billing based on the number of requests and the duration of execution makes Lambda very economical for an uncertain workload.

Key points

Triggered by events: S3, API Gateway, SQS, etc.
Maximum 15 minutes of execution per call
It supports Python, Java, Go, and (.NET) (Node.js)
