Introduction

AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that runs code in response to events.

Getting Started

typescript
import { APIGatewayProxyEvent, APIGatewayProxyResult } from 'aws-lambda';

export const handler = async (
  event: APIGatewayProxyEvent
): Promise<APIGatewayProxyResult> => {
  return {
    statusCode: 200,
    body: JSON.stringify({ message: 'Hello from Lambda!' })
  };
};

Cold Start Optimization

typescript
// Keep functions warm
export const keepWarmHandler = async () => {
  console.log('Keeping warm...');
  return { statusCode: 200 };
};

// Schedule every 4 minutes

Conclusion

AWS Lambda enables powerful serverless architectures.
