Serverless with Lambda
Run code without managing servers.
📖 Key ideas
- Lambda runs functions in response to events.
- Triggers: API Gateway, S3 uploads, DynamoDB streams, schedules (EventBridge).
- Pay per request and execution time.
- Max 15 minutes per invocation.
- Combine with API Gateway to build serverless APIs.
💡 Real-life example: Lambda is a cook who appears only when an order arrives and leaves when it is served.
