AWS Lambda is "serverless" to customers. You only pay for running the functions, even though Amazon pays for running the underlying architecture which obviously runs on servers.
- yeukhon 9y agoWell, the difference between that and running on Elasticbeanstalk would be you choose the sizing while Amazon chooses the sizing for you in Lambda. The reason people seem to advocate FaaS is because Lambda can be viewed as a job sent to queue and then runs based on event criteria (time based or event trigger based). Look at Lambada like writing and calling a job from queue (eg celery). Nothing fancy about serverless.
