Have you heard about AWS Lambda, the new computing system that offers you a variety of benefits like real-time data processing and custom back-end service? Wish you knew the ins-and-outs of this system so you could decide if it’s the right fit for you?

With so much information available about AWS Lambda, it can be hard to know what it is without an AWS Lambda FAQ.

AWS Lambda FAQ

Curious about what AWS Lambda is, what it can do for you, and how much it will cost you and your business? Well, we’re here to help! Here’s a breakdown of frequently asked questions about this system, so you can determine if it’s the right option for you.

What is AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda is an Amazon serverless computing system that runs code and automatically manages your underlying compute resources. It lets you automatically run code in response to many types of events, such as HTTP requests from Amazon API gateway, table updates in Amazon DynamoDB, and state transitions. It also enables you to extend to other AWS services with custom logic, and even create your own back-end services.

The service works by running your code on a high-availability computer infrastructure. It then performs all the administrative duties of that compute resource, like providing maintenance on your server and operating system, automatically scaling and managing your capacity provisions, and handling security patch deployment and code monitoring and logging.

The only work required on your end is supplying code for it to run.

How Does AWS Lambda Work?

While AWS Lambda may seem confusing at first, it really isn’t. In fact, it’s actually just a 4-step simple process.

Start off by uploading your code to AWS Lambda. From there, set up your code to trigger from other AWS services, HTTP endpoints, or mobile apps. AWS Lambda will only run your code when it’s triggered and will also only use the computing resources needed to run it.

What’s better? You only have to pay for the compute time you use!
