Episode 64: AWS Lambda

August 31, 2025 · 17 min

Show notes

In this episode, we take a deep dive into AWS Lambda, one of the most popular serverless compute services offered by AWS. AWS Lambda allows you to run code in response to events, such as changes to data in Amazon S3, DynamoDB updates, or HTTP requests via API Gateway. We’ll walk you through how to create Lambda functions, configure triggers, and integrate with other AWS services. We’ll also explore the pricing model for Lambda, which charges you only for the compute time you use, making it a cost-effective solution for event-driven applications.

Lambda enables you to build highly scalable applications that respond automatically to incoming events, eliminating the need to provision or manage servers. Whether you’re building real-time data processing pipelines, automated workflows, or microservices, Lambda provides a flexible, serverless compute platform. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a solid understanding of how to use AWS Lambda to build efficient, event-driven applications in the cloud.
