Writing AWS Lambda Functions in Ruby

AWS Lambda allows us to set up scalable functions while minimizing overhead. Instead of writing, hosting, and maintaining an entire Ruby on Rails app, we can use Lambda functions to respond to individual events independently. This article will bring you from an AWS newcomer to writing Ruby in your own Lambda functions.Lambda allows you to run code in response to events without managing servers. This event-driven architecture ensures that you only pay for your code while it's working for you, not while it's idling. While Lambda is most commonly used to respond to events within the AWS ecosystem, such as deleting a file in an S3 Bucket, it can also be configured to act as an API in conjunction with AWS API Gateway.
