About AWS Lambda

AWS Lambda was introduced by Amazon Web Services in 2014. It was created to simplify the execution of code in response to events without requiring users to manage server infrastructure. The service aimed to provide scalable and cost-effective computing by charging only for the compute time consumed.

Strengths of AWS Lambda include automatic scaling, cost efficiency, and ease of integration with other AWS services. Weaknesses involve cold start latency, limited execution duration, and potential complexity in debugging. Competitors include Google Cloud Functions, Microsoft Azure Functions, and IBM Cloud Functions.
