Getting started with AWS Lambda

Many cloud service providers introduced different services for the serverless infrastructure. Amazon introduced AWS Lambda as a compute service, where you just provide your code and AWS Lambda executes the code in a highly scalable infrastructure by itself. You don't need to worry about managing the services manually. You need to pay for the compute time of your code execution, and there are no charges when your code is not running.

AWS Lambda executes the code as needed in response to events such as data storage events on an S3 bucket, Amazon DynamoDB events, and HTTP request events via the API Gateway. AWS Lambda is able to execute the code based on scheduled time events via AWS CloudWatch Events. AWS Lambda supports Python, Node.js, C#, and Java.

Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is a storage service provided by Amazon. It has a simple web interface to store the data. Amazon S3 has associated services events that can be used by other services.
