AWS Lambda
AWS Lambda allows you to run code in response to events without managing infrastructure. It runs code automatically based on triggers from other AWS services or custom applications. Lambda handles scaling and maintenance of compute resources so you only need to supply the code. While still early, Lambda supports Node.js, Python and Java and can run any process on Amazon Linux. It offers scalability, quick deployment and less need for DevOps skills compared to managing servers. Developers should be aware that some regions do not yet support it and architectures may be more complex than monolithic apps.

- 6. INTRODUCING AWS LAMBDA ▸A compute service that runs your code in response to events and automatically manages the underlying compute resources for you. ▸ Allows you to extend other AWS services with custom logic, or create your own back-end services that operate at AWS scale, performance, and security. ▸ Runs your code on high-availability compute infrastructure and performs all the administration of the compute resources, including server and operating system maintenance, capacity provisioning and automatic scaling, code and security patch deployment, and code monitoring and logging. All you need to do is supply the code.

- 8. LANGUAGES • Native supportfor NodeJS, Python & Java 8 • Can spawn any other process that runs on Amazon Linux - almost all languages
- 9. BENEFITS • Price • Nomanagement of infrastructure • Less DevOps skills needed • Massive scalability • Quick to deploy • Not locked to AWS
- 10. THINGSTO BE AWAREOF… • Not in ap-southeast-2 (Sydney) just yet… • Tends to be used in conjunction with other AWS services • Dev workflow… • Architecture will be more complex than a small monolithic app • Still early days for many use cases, lots of roll-your-own at the moment. Eg: end to end testing, monitoring
