Getting Started with AWS Lambda and the serverless cloud

The document provides an overview of AWS Lambda, a serverless compute platform that allows users to run code in response to events without managing servers. It highlights the benefits of AWS Lambda, including pay-per-request pricing, continuous scaling, and integration with other AWS services. Additionally, it outlines common usage scenarios, programming models, and use cases such as mobile backends, data processing, and scheduled events.

Benefits of AWS Lambda

No servers to Continuous Never pay for idle


manage scaling – no cold servers
Pay-per request

• Buy compute time in


100 ms increments
• Low request charge
• No hourly, daily, or monthly
minimums
• No per-device fees
Free Tier
Never pay for idle! 1 million requests and 400,000 GBs of
compute every month, for every customer
Using AWS Lambda

Bring your own code Simple resource model


• Node.js, Java, Python, C# • Select power rating from 128
• Bring your own libraries MB to 1.5 GB
(even native ones) • CPU & network allocated
proportionately
• Metrics provide actual usage

Flexible use Flexible authorization


• Call or send events • Securely grant access to
• Integrated with other AWS resources, including VPCs
services • Fine-grained control over
• Build whole serverless who can call your functions
ecosystems
Using AWS Lambda
Programming model Stateless
• AWS SDK built in • Persist data using Amazon
• Lambda is the front end S3, ElastiCache, RDS or
non-relational databases
• Use processes, threads, /
tmp, sockets normally • No affinity to infrastructure
(can’t “log in to the box”)

Authoring functions Monitoring and logging


• Author directly using the • Built-in metrics for requests,
console WYSIWYG editor errors, latency & throttles
• Package code as a .zip & • Built-in logs in Amazon
upload to Lambda or S3 CloudWatch Logs
• Plugins for Eclipse & Visual
Studio
• Command line tools
Common usage scenarios

Data Triggers Control systems


Customise Customize responses and
behaviour on data response workflows to
updates in S3, SNS state changes within AWS
& more

Building Mobile Backends with Lambda

• Lambda as the backend logic for


mobile applications.
• Easy Personalization
• … for devices
• … for end users
Other Use Cases
Scheduled Events (CRON)

• Dev/QA Environments: Stop running


instances at 19:00 h and Start it again at
8:00 between Monday to Friday.
• Log cleanup
• Batching up statistics
• Alarm clock
• Infrastructure automation
• Backup scheduler
Backup and Disaster Recovery

• Cross-region replication to multiple


regions.
• Off-site backups.
• Validation of those backups is difficult to
scale.
• Set rules on Lambda that defines what
needs to be backup and checks
• Validates and raise alarms in case of
failure.
