AWS Lambda
AWS Lambda is an event-driven, serverless
computing platform provided by Amazon as a
part of Amazon Web Services. It is a computing
service that runs code in response to events and
automatically manages the computing resources
required by that code. It was introduced in
November 2014.
 AWS Lambda
• lets you run code without provisioning or
managing servers.

• the lambda code is executed just when it is

needed

• is an event-driven

import com.amazonaws.services.lambda.runtime.Context;
import com.amazonaws.services.lambda.runtime.RequestHandler;
import java.util.Random;

public class LambdaFunctionHandler implements RequestHandler<Object, String>

{

@Override
public String handleRequest(Object input, Context context) {
context.getLogger().log("Input: " + input);

// create instance of Random class

Random rand = new Random();

// Generate random integers in range 0 to 999

int rand_int = rand.nextInt(1000);

return "The random number is " + rand_int;

}
