AWS Lambda
• Run code without provisioning or
managing servers
• Pay only for compute time while code is
running
• Use other AWS services to automatically
trigger code
AWS Lambda
42
How AWS Lambda works
Upload code to
Lambda.
Set code to trigger
from an event
source.
Code runs only
when triggered.
Pay only for the
compute time
you use.
