What is AWS Lambda?

Dynatrace

The 2014 launch of AWS Lambda marked a milestone in how organizations use cloud services to deliver their applications more efficiently, by running functions at the edge of the cloud without the cost and operational overhead of on-premises servers. What is AWS Lambda? Where does Lambda fit in the AWS ecosystem? Dynatrace news.

Some applications may also rely on timely decisions: when maneuvering heavy machinery, an absolute minimum of latency is critical. AWS Greengrass provides the following features: Local execution ofAWS Lambda functions written in Python 2.7 AWS Greengrass uses the same certificate-based mutual authentication that AWS IoT uses.

What is serverless computing? Driving efficiency without sacrificing observability

Dynatrace

AWS Lambda functions are an example of how a serverless framework works: Developers write a function in a supported language or platform. When an application is triggered, it can cause latency as the application starts. AWS Lambda allows developers to use NodeJS or Python while you can control nearly every detail of a REST API.

Embrace event-driven computing: Amazon expands DynamoDB with streams, cross-region replication, and database triggers

All Things Distributed

DynamoDB Streams is the enabling technology behind two other features announced today: cross-region replication maintains identical copies of DynamoDB tables across AWS regions with push-button ease, and triggers execute AWS Lambda functions on streams, allowing you to respond to changing data conditions. Let me expand on each one of them.

Expanding the Cloud: Amazon Machine Learning Service, the Amazon Elastic Filesystem and more

All Things Distributed

Amazon Lambda. One of the most exciting technologies we have built lately at AWS is Amazon Lambda. A great example by Valentino in the AWSSummit today was the use of Lambda by Adroll to deliver real-time updates around the word to their DynamoDB instances. Today Amazon Lambda is entering General Availability.

A one size fits all database doesn't fit anyone

All Things Distributed

Use cases such as gaming, ad tech, and IoT lend themselves particularly well to the key-value data model where the access patterns require low-latency Gets/Puts for known key values. The purpose of DynamoDB is to provide consistent single-digit millisecond latency for any scale of workloads.
