# AWS Lambda

Skill · Cloud Computing and DevOps

Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/aws-lambda

AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that runs code in response to events without requiring the user to provision or manage servers, automatically scaling and charging only for compute time used. Developers use it to build backend logic, APIs, data processing pipelines, and automation scripts triggered by events like file uploads or API calls. It's a foundational building block of serverless and event-driven architectures on AWS.
