What is Lambda?

Lambda, in the context of computing and cloud services, typically refers to AWS Lambda, a serverless computing service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS Lambda allows developers to run code in response to specific events, such as changes to data in an Amazon S3 bucket, updates to a DynamoDB table, or HTTP requests via Amazon API Gateway. Lambda functions are small, stateless, and event-driven, making them suitable for building scalable and cost-effective applications without managing server infrastructure.
