Introduction to AWS Lambda and serverless computing

In this section, you will understand some of the key EC2 use cases that you could benefit from in terms of integrating with Lambda functions. But before diving into the details of Lambda functions and their use cases, let’s take a moment to understand the foundation of Lambda, which is serverless computing. Serverless computing created a revolution and represented a broader paradigm shift in building and running applications without the need for server management. This paradigm shift created a huge advantage for developers to just focus on their code without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. In AWS, AWS Lambda acts as a core component of serverless computing, allowing you to run code in response to events without the traditional server management.

With this introduction, we will provide a comprehensive overview of AWS Lambda and understand its innovative features and the transformative impact it has on its application...
