Overview

Serverless Architecture provides software development teams with the following:

• Capacity to build and run applications and services without having to manage infrastructure
• A way to run applications on servers but without the need to worry about server management; this is handled by the Cloud (IAAS)
• An approach that eliminates the need to provision, scale, and maintain servers to run applications, databases, and storage systems

AWS Lambda is an event-driven compute service from AWS that follows serverless architecture.

**Advantages of AWS Lambda **

• Cost Optimization – Charges are made only for the compute resources used; no initial payment is required for projects
• Scaling – Lambda’s managed scaling model can process millions of requests in real-time
• Serverless – This provides greater scalability, more flexibility, and quicker release times, all at a reduced cost
• Reduced Operational Complexity – There is no need to maintain servers, networking complexities, or host OS
• Integration – Lamda provides seamless integration with other AWS services and industry-leading platforms
• Faster Development – The development process speeds up since teams can focus on resolving business use cases rather than concentrate on solving software complexities
• Security – With Lambda, developers can use AWS security services to monitor and provide security to their cloud setup
