Executes code functions without provisioning or managing infrastructure

Eliminate the provisioning and maintenance needs of a complex infrastructure

AWS Lambda is a serverless, event-based computing service that allows you to execute code for virtually any type of application or backend service without the need to provision or manage servers.

Lambda works in conjunction with more than 200 AWS services and software as a service (SaaS) applications, and you only pay for what you use.

Run the code to the capacity you need, as needed. Scale to adjust to your data volume automatically and enable custom event triggers.

The main problem it solves is the execution of a backend of a web application completely in decoupled functions without having to worry about provisioning and managing a server.

Due to the versatility of the service, the function you want to give it depends on the purpose of the functions to be developed. For example:

File Processing

Use Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) to trigger real-time AWS Lambda data processing after an upload, or connect to an existing Amazon EFS file system to enable massively parallel shared access for large scale file processing.

Transaction Processing

Use AWS Lambda and Amazon Kinesis to process streaming data in real time for application activity tracking, transaction order processing, clickstream analysis, data cleansing, log filtering, indexing, social media analysis, IoT device data telemetry, and measurement.
