Amazon Lambda foundations

The Lambda function is the principal resource of the Lambda service.

You can configure your functions using the Lambda console, Lambda API, Amazon CloudFormation or Amazon SAM. You create code for the function and upload the code using a deployment package. Lambda invokes the function when an event occurs. Lambda runs multiple instances of your function in parallel, governed by concurrency and scaling limits.
