AWS Lambda is an event-driven, serverless computing platform launched by Amazon Web Services (AWS) in 2014 that runs code in response to events and automatically manages the computing power needed by that code.
According to AWS:
“AWS Lambda is a compute service that runs your code in response to events and automatically manages the compute resources, making it easy to build applications that respond quickly to new information.”
