What is AWS Lambda (https://noahgift.com/articles/what-is-aws-lambda/)
Notes:
Introduction to Serverless
• New paradigm in cloud computing
• Contrasts with pre-cloud, always-running systems
Inefficiency of Traditional Models
• Example: Apache web service running constantly
• Analogy: Lights always on in a house
Characteristics of Serverless Computing
• Stateless
• Event-driven
• Automatically scalable
• "Logic to live" concept
Light Bulb Analogy
• Manual invocation (switch)
• Timer-based activation
• Sensor-triggered (motion, garage door)
Simplicity in Coding
• Functions in various languages (Python, Rust, Go)
• Input-process-output model
Efficiency and Use Cases
• Low latency workloads
• Data engineering
• Modern cloud-native workflows
Example of Serverless Platform
• AWS Lambda mentioned as popular exampleKey Takeaways:
• Serverless computing offers more efficient resource utilization than traditional models
• It's event-driven and scales automatically
• Simplifies coding by focusing on function-based logic
• Well-suited for modern cloud applications and data engineering tasks
