How does AWS Lambda simplify building serverless architectures?

Investigates how Lambda abstracts infrastructure complexity and enables easier scaling for small stateless functions.

AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that runs code in response to events—without provisioning servers. It abstracts infrastructure management entirely: • Auto-scaling based on event volume. • Charged per millisecond of execution, reducing idle cost. • Seamless integration with AWS services like S3, API Gateway, DynamoDB. This enables architectures where developers can focus on logic and event flow—Lambda handles availability, scaling, and patching in the backend.
