Lambda is serverless

From Corey O'Brien

• On AWS, you set up a trigger
• When the trigger has occured, you pass some amount of data to a lambda function
• This is cost effective for operations that don't happen very often because you don't have to keep a server always up and running.
• Instead, using lambda functions, you are charged computed per unit, not time a server is up.
