   • It also makes a huge difference in terms of cost, you pay as per usage which is based on the execution time
   • It provide high availability

2. Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is a storage service provided by Amazon. AWS Lambda supports inline code execution, where you can directly write your code from its web interface. It also supports fetching the code base from an Amazon S3 bucket, where you can put your code base as a build package in ZIP format. Zappa has a command to generate the ZIP package of your application.
