AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. You pay only for the compute time you consume - there is no charge when your code is not running.

Key Features

  • Serverless: No need to manage servers.
  • Scalable: Automatically scales to match the demand.
  • Pay-Per-Use: Only pay for the compute time you consume.

Getting Started

To get started with AWS Lambda, follow these steps:

  1. Create an AWS account.
