Overview
Serverless has become the most used deployment pattern for cloud applications. In this field, AWS Lambda is a very well known player. Every developer wants to get his hands dirty with lambda, build a quick function code, and run it.
However, there are myths that AWS manages the compute so Lambda is hands-off. It handles scalability, ha, security, performance and so on by its own. Lambda is not like an AI robot which learns on its own and optimizes its configurations to improve all the cloud-native metrics. Developers need to pay attention while designing and learn how to balance between cost and performance. In this blog, I am going to share how we can get the best use of Lambda by understanding how it works.
