Description

Lambda is one of the most popular AWS services. It allows you to run code without servers, and you only pay when the service is actively being used. With Lambda, you no longer have to pay for idle server time or administer, operate, and wait for servers to be built to run your applications.

Lambda is designed to allow you to bring your code and natively supports the most popular programming languages available. Getting the most out of Lambda requires understanding how it works and its limitations.

This course starts with the fundamentals and walks you through the more advanced use cases.
