Amazon Web Services Lambda

What is Amazon Web Services Lambda?

AWS Lambda is a compute service that runs your code in response to events and automatically manages the underlying compute resources for you. You can use AWS Lambda to extend other AWS services with custom logic, or create your own back-end services that operate at AWS scale, performance, and security. Lambda runs your code on high-availability compute infrastructure and performs all the administration of the compute resources, including server and operating system maintenance, capacity provisioning and automatic scaling, code and security patch deployment, and code monitoring and logging. All you need to do is supply the code

Highlights

• Allows you to extend other AWS services with custom logic or create your own back-end services
• Provides high-availability compute infrastructure and handles all administrative tasks, including scaling and security
• Requires only the code to be provided, with no need to manage the underlying infrastructure
