Serverless Computing Using AWS Lambda

Serverless computing with AWS Lambda lets developers build and run code without having to manage or provision servers. This means we can focus entirely on writing applications’ logic, while AWS takes care of the rest, such as scaling, maintenance, and availability. This is especially helpful for applications that have unpredictable or fluctuating workloads, such as a URL shortener service where traffic can spike at random times. With AWS Lambda, applications can automatically scale up during high traffic and scale down to zero when idle, helping reduce costs and operational complexity.

Another key benefit of AWS Lambda is how easily it integrates with other AWS services, such as S3, DynamoDB, and API Gateway. This enables developers to build powerful event-driven systems where actions are triggered by real-time events, for example, a file upload or an HTTP request. For example, we can create a Lambda function that automatically logs...
