LAB ID: learning-serverless-function-as-a-service-on-lambda
Any complexity you can think of is not a complexity anymore with our Lambda Hello World Labs. Student or professional – there is an abundance for everyone to test the boundaries with AWS Lambda Tutorials. Lambda Hello World Labs breaks down every component into easy-to-understand activities. Learners commence their journey with the creation of an AWS Lambda function and then move on to configuring the respective timeline along with execution settings. The middle part of writing & deploying the function code is a pure add-on that simply cannot be missed. Learners seamlessly transition into the next activity of testing the function with the assistance of test events. Step-by-step guidance in the lab takes learners to a phase where they only have to monitor the function. This can be done in collaboration with Amazon CloudWatch Logs – without setting up and maintaining its complexities at any point. If this sounds interesting, or something worth a try, then sign up and give Lambda Hello World Labs a shot. There are guidance pointers at every step, especially for you! Learning Outcomes: By the end of this lab, you will be able to: • Create an AWS Lambda function • Configure Lambda runtime and execution settings • Write and deploy Lambda function code • Test the Lambda function using test events • Monitor function execution using Amazon CloudWatch Logs • Understand the serverless execution model and pay-per-use pricing Imagine a Scenario: You are a junior cloud engineer at a startup that is building a serverless backend for its applications. The development team needs a lightweight service to process incoming requests without managing servers. Your task is to create an AWS Lambda function, assign the required IAM permissions, deploy the function code, invoke it using test events, and verify its execution through Amazon CloudWatch Logs. By completing this task, you will gain hands-on experience with AWS Lambda and understand how serverless applications are built and managed.
