AWS Lambda Brings Scalable Event Computing to Mobile and IoT Backends

Posted on: Apr 9, 2015

AWS Lambda is now generally available for production use and is introducing new features that make it even easier to build mobile, tablet, and IoT backends that scale automatically without provisioning or managing infrastructure.

AWS Lambda functions can now be called directly from mobile, IoT, and web apps as well as being triggered by events. Lambda functions can receive data about the device, app, and end user identity and immediately send back a response, making it easy to create rich, personalized app experiences. By extending its event processing approach with the ability to make direct Lambda function calls from client devices, enriched by device context and user identity information, AWS Lambda makes it easy to create scalable, secure, and highly available backends for applications without the need to provision or manage infrastructure.
