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.

What is serverless computing? Driving efficiency without sacrificing observability

Dynatrace

This allows teams to sidestep much of the cost and time associated with managing hardware, platforms, and operating systems on-premises, while also gaining the flexibility to scale rapidly and efficiently. AWS Lambda functions are an example of how a serverless framework works: Developers write a function in a supported language or platform.

How to overcome the cloud observability wall

Dynatrace

You may be using serverless functions like AWS Lambda , Azure Functions , or Google Cloud Functions, or a container management service, such as Kubernetes. Another aspect of microservices is how the service itself relates to the underlying hardware. Just as the code is monolithic, so is the logging.

Platform Engineering Teams Done Right…

Adrian Cockcroft

The layers of platforms start at the bottom with hardware choices such as which CPU architectures and vendors you want to use. Above that there’s a deployment platform such as Kubernetes or AWS Lambda. Both mobile and web front ends call an Application Program Interface (API) that is managed by an API proxy.

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.

Trip report: Autumn ISO C++ standards meeting (Kona, HI, USA)

Sutter's Mill

Instead, you want a library that is tuned for your target hardware architecture and ready for par_unseq vectorized algorithms, for blazing speed. There are a handful of design questions still to decide, norably the semantics of implicit lambda capture, consteval , and multiple declarations. This is that library.
