AWS Lambda functions are an example of how a serverless framework works: Developers write a function in a supported language or platform. Every time the trigger executes, the function runs on an available resource. When an application is triggered, it can cause latency as the application starts. Pay Per Use.

For example, it is OK to send writes through one instance, and do reads from another one with full data read consistency guarantees.
