Serverless Basics (Lambda / Functions)

Part of the DevOps Roadmap.

Summary

Running code in response to events without managing any servers directly — you pay only for actual execution time, and the platform handles all scaling automatically.

How to Learn This

  • 1Deploy a simple function (AWS Lambda or equivalent) triggered by an HTTP request.
  • 2Learn the trade-offs of serverless: no server management, but cold starts and execution time limits.
  • 3Understand when serverless fits well (event-driven, spiky workloads) versus when it doesn't (long-running processes).
