Topic Serverless Computing

Serverless computing lets you run application code without managing servers, using event-driven functions and managed services; AWS Lambda is Amazon's serverless compute service that executes short-lived functions triggered by HTTP requests, queues, object storage events, schedules and more. A hands-on guide to building a serverless backend with AWS Lambda will walk you through function creation, IAM permissions, API Gateway wiring, deployment and packaging strategies, local testing, monitoring and cost considerations, plus common patterns for scaling and integrating with other AWS services.
