Summary

Let's quickly recap the things we have learned in this chapter. For starters, we got to learn a bit about the birth of serverless computing along with few of its features, pros and cons. With the basics out of the way, we started our journey into the amazing world of AWS Lambda by understanding its nuances and how it works. We then explored the rich AWS Management Console and saw how easy and effortless it is to deploy a simple function. We even learnt how to package and invoke our functions using the AWS CLI as well. Towards the end of the chapter we learnt about how Lambda is priced along with few examples and what some of its limits are as well. Finally, we ended the chapter by exploring a quick comparison between the AWS compute services and learnt which service to use and when.

In the next chapter, we will be turning things up a notch by actually learning the anatomy of writing a Lambda function; its basic building blocks, how to log, and handle few common exceptions, as well as working with versioning and environment variables. So stick around, we are just getting started!
