Building Event-Driven Solutions with AWS Lambda

Event-driven architecture is a paradigm shift in how software applications are designed, built, and run. AWS Lambda is a serverless computing service that allows you to run code in response to events without provisioning or managing servers; it provides high scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness.

Understanding AWS Lambda in Event-Driven Architectures

AWS Lambda excels in event-driven scenarios because it can react to events in real time. An event source, such as Amazon S3, DynamoDB, or a custom application, triggers a Lambda function, which executes its code in response to the event. Event-driven architecture also enables you to build and design distributed applications and microservices. This ensures that different components of your application can scale independently, removing the level dependencies often associated with a monolithic architecture.

In addition, AWS Lambda can help you build serverless architectures...
