What is AWS Lambda good for?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 5:24 pm

AWS Lambda is a compute service that lets you run code without having to provision or manage servers. You can use Lambda to run code on demand, in response to events or commands.

Lambda lets you run code in response to events or commands, which can be useful for tasks such as automatically responding to customer feedback, polling a remote data source, or automatically taking actions in response to changes in your data.

PRO TIP: AWS Lambda is a good tool for running serverless applications, but it has some limitations. First, it is not a good choice for applications that need to run for long periods of time or process large amounts of data. Second, Lambda functions can only be invoked in response to events from other AWS services, such as S3 or DynamoDB.

Lambda is also useful for running small tasks or scripts in response to changes or events. For example, you could use Lambda to automatically create or update a record in a database, or to process a batch of emails.

Lambda is a fast and cost-effective way to run code on demand. You can use it to run code in response to events or commands, which can be useful for tasks such as automatically responding to customer feedback, polling a remote data source, or automatically taking actions in response to changes in your data.
