AWS Lambda is a serverless computing service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It allows developers to run code without managing servers, making it ideal for applications that need to scale rapidly.
Key features of AWS Lambda include serverless compute, automatic scaling, cost-effective pay-as-you-go pricing, multi-language support, and reliability with built-in high availability.
Common use cases for AWS Lambda include data processing, API backends, automation and task scheduling, IoT device management, and video encoding.
To get started with AWS Lambda, create an AWS account, access the AWS Management Console, create a new Lambda function, write and deploy Lambda code, configure a trigger (optional), and deploy and test the function.
