How does AWS Lambda enable scalable, cost-effective serverless applications?

Discusses how AWS Lambda abstracts server management and simplifies building scalable event-driven architectures.

AWS Lambda is an event-driven FaaS (Function as a Service) that runs code without server provisioning. It: • Autos-scales per request using Firecracker microVMs for isolation and speed turn0search20turn0search9 • Charges per millisecond of execution—no cost for idle time turn0search9 • Integrates with services like API Gateway, S3, DynamoDB for seamless event-driven workflows Ideal for serverless microservices, ETL tasks, real-time data processing, and backend APIs.
