Build applications without the need for servers with AWS Serverless Computing

Modern cloud computing has become pivotal in meeting demands for quality, cost, and speed. With serverless computing, organizations can stop spending valuable time thinking about the infrastructure, managing middleware, and other core products and put their focus on application code differentiation. The developer needs to focus on the code only while the AWS serverless service will take care of managing the resources required to run the code.

AWS Lambda is a serverless platform using which you can build and run any type of back-end application or service without having to provision, manage, or scale servers.

Lambda is invoked when several services or custom processing need to be accessed. Data flowing through the services can be used to run custom code on that data stream as well as in a Kinesis pipeline which is capturing data from IoT devices frequently

• Easy monitoring
• Scalability
• Automated batch processing
• Built-in availability

Contrary to its name, AWS serverless computing does make use of servers. However, its management and operation are done by a third party so that anyone can use the external infrastructure to develop and run applications on an on-demand service model.

Serverless computing doesn’t have fixed resources like traditional servers and is hence not restricted while running multiple applications on a single server. Serverless computing is event-driven, and since the process is completely automated, it doesn’t need any human intervention. This helps serverless computing solve inefficiencies that are otherwise present in a traditional server.

AWS offers advanced technologies that enable you to run code, manage data, and integrate applications without managing any servers. You only have to pay for the computing time you consume and nothing more making AWS a great option for serverless computing.
