### Comment 1

AWS Lambda is built on top of AWS’s fully managed compute infrastructure, using container‑based technology under the hood. It runs your code inside lightweight, isolated execution environments that AWS manages, scales, and secures automatically. You never see the servers, containers, or operating systems — AWS handles all of that behind the scenes.

### Comment 2

Each lambda function is packaged in its own container running on Linux. You can write your lambda function using a variety of languages such as Python, Java, JavaScript/NodeJS, C#, etc.
