How we're using AWS Lambda
AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers, creating workload-aware cluster scaling logic, maintaining event integrations, or managing runtimes.
About AWS Lambda
With Lambda, you can run code for virtually any type of application or backend service - all with zero administration. Just upload your code as a ZIP file or container image, and Lambda automatically and precisely allocates compute execution power and runs your code based on the incoming request or event, for any scale of traffic.
How we're using AWS Lambda
AWS Lambda is a TensorIoT back-end developer's best friend. We use it to build event-driven applications and functionality in all kinds of projects. Typically, we pair Lambda with API Gateway, so web apps can easily interact with other AWS resources, like databases, S3, or IoT. Lambda supports several languages, and comes with the AWS SDK built-in, so it's a cinch to integrate with the AWS ecosystem. Without it, our back-end team would have to build their own event-driven compute infrastructure and manage scalability from scratch.
Benefits of AWS Lambda
No servers to manage
Continuous scaling
Cost optimized with millisecond metering
