AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that automatically runs your code in response to events and manages the underlying compute resources for you. You can use it to trigger functions from various AWS services, handle web requests through API Gateway, or respond to changes in data within Amazon S3, DynamoDB, and other services. With Lambda, you only pay for the compute time you consume, making it a cost-effective solution for running applications without the overhead of server management.

One of the key features of AWS Lambda is its scalability. It can automatically scale to handle thousands of requests per second without any manual intervention. Lambda supports multiple programming languages including Node.js, Python, Java, and C#. Developers can focus on writing their business logic instead of worrying about the infrastructure, allowing for faster release cycles and easier maintenance. Moreover, integration with other AWS services enhances its capabilities, making it a favored choice among developers looking to implement serverless architectures.
