AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that lets you run code without managing servers. It executes code in response to events like API requests, database changes, or file uploads, scaling automatically to meet demand. With support for multiple programming languages, including Python, it’s ideal for building scalable, event-driven applications. AWS Lambda charges only for compute time used, making it cost-effective.
