AWS Lambda has opened up a new frontier of possibilities, a multitude of functionalities that you can do with these Functions. It is no wonder in the fact that Serverless APIs is one of the best. The combination of AWS Lambda and API Gateway has made it pretty simple and straightforward to build APIs without having to handle any AWS server resources. There are endless possibilities to explore the infinite benefits of AWS Lambda. But, it is also important to know it’s not an effortless solution. So, here is everything you should know about Serverless API.
What is serverless?
Serverless is an approach that attempts to resolve the problems of infrastructure and software infrastructure design.
- With the help of a managed computation services (such as AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, Google Cloud Functions, IBM OpenWhisk, or Auth0 WebTask) to execute code.
- Leveraging third-party providers and APIs efficiently.
- Apply serverless architectures and trends.
Serverless is about standardizing the complexities of existing frameworks by eliminating the requirement to operate servers and maintain resources. it’s also about letting developers concentrate on their key problems by improving the programmer’s productivity. Through using a serverless computing service and using a range of powerful single-purpose APIs and web servers, developers can easily create flexible, elastic, and effective architectures.
Developers will then step away from servers and technology issues to concentrate solely on technology, which is the ultimate aim behind serverless.

Benefits of Serverless Computation Services
In AWS Lambda, you can run code in response to events in a massively parallel fashion. It may respond to HTTP requests, events posed by other AWS services, or it may be invoked directly using the API. With S3, there is no necessity for provision capacity for Lambda. There are no servers to track or scale, no chance of over-provisioning costs and under-provisioning efficiency. Users are paid only with the time their code runs, which is calculated in seconds.
