The good news is that you only pay for the computing time, and not when the code is not running.
Other AWS services can be extended by using Lambda with custom logic or creating a back-end service that operates on AWS performance, security, and scale. Lambda uses high-availability compute infrastructure and does all the resource administration including operating system and server maintenance, code and security patch deployment, code monitoring and logging, as well as capacity provisioning and automatic scaling. It only requires the code from a user. Lambda functions in different languages such as Java, Python, Go, Node.js, and so on.
