Benefits of Lambda
Customers who want to increase the creativity and speed of their development organizations without compromising their IT team’s ability to provide a scalable, cost-effective, and manageable infrastructure find that AWS Lambda enables them to trade operational complexity for agility and better pricing, without compromising on scale or reliability.
Lambda offers many benefits, including the following:
No servers to manage
Lambda runs your code on highly available, fault-tolerant
infrastructure spread across multiple
Availability
Zones (AZs) in a single Region, seamlessly deploying code,
and providing all the administration, maintenance, and patches of
the infrastructure. Lambda also provides built-in logging and
monitoring, including integration with
Amazon CloudWatch
Continuous scaling
Lambda precisely manages scaling of your functions (or application) by running event initiated code in parallel and processing each event individually.
Millisecond metering
With AWS Lambda, you are charged for every millisecond (ms) your code runs, and the number of times your code is run. You pay for consistent throughput or run duration, instead of by server unit.
Increases innovation
Lambda frees up your programming resources by taking over the infrastructure management, allowing you to focus more on innovation and development of business logic.
Modernize your applications
Lambda enables you to use functions with pre-trained machine learning (ML) models to inject artificial intelligence into applications more easily. A single application programming interface (API) request can classify images, analyze videos, convert speech to text, perform natural language processing, and more.
Support for developers
Lambda supports developers through the
AWS Serverless Application Repository
