AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that automatically runs code in response to events such as HTTP requests via Amazon API Gateway, file uploads to Amazon S3, or even changes in a database.
Event-Driven Workflows: Lambda can trigger data processing workflows based on specific events (e.g., new data arriving in S3, database updates, or stream processing).
Scalability: Since AWS Lambda scales automatically, it’s ideal for handling high-volume, intermittent data processing tasks.
Best Practices: Efficient data handling, optimizing execution time, robust error handling, using environment variables for configuration, and ensuring security considerations are some best practices for leveraging AWS Lambda for serverless data processing.
