When AWS launched, it changed how developers thought about IT services: What used to take weeks or months of purchasing and provisioning turned into minutes with Amazon EC2. Our answer is a new compute service called AWS Lambda. You can go from code to service in three clicks and then let AWS Lambda take care of the rest.
