You pay only for the compute time you consume - there is no charge when your code is not running. With Lambda, you can run code for virtually any type of application or backend service - all with zero administration. Just upload your code and Lambda takes care of everything required to run and scale your code with high availability. You can set up your code to automatically trigger from other AWS services or call it directly from any web or mobile app. Show More * * * ### 75.0 Nps Score Already have AWS Lambda? ### All AWS Lambda Discussions Search Most CommentedMost HelpfulPinned by G2Newest All DiscussionsDiscussions with CommentsPinned by G2Discussions without Comments FilterFilter Filter byExpand/Collapse Sort by Most Commented Most Helpful Pinned by G2 Newest Filter by All Discussions Discussions with Comments Pinned by G2 Discussions without Comments ![Pinned by G2 as a common question](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Pinned by G2 as a common question") G2 Pinned by G2 as a common question • over 2 years ago More Options - [ # What is AWS Lambda used for? ](/discussions/what-is-aws-lambda-used-for) What is AWS Lambda used for?
