Discovering the Synergy Between AWS Lambda and API Gateway

The world of cloud computing is vast, but among its vast array of services, AWS Lambda and API Gateway stand out, especially when you harness them together. Here’s a more detailed look into these game-changing services. <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*0dbCb5LiUMstznKXEvDtXQ.png" style="height:394px; width:700px" /> <h1>AWS Lambda: More Than Just Function Execution</h1> The Heartbeat of Serverless: AWS Lambda is the cornerstone of serverless architecture. While it allows you to run code without managing servers, it also automatically scales applications by running code in response to triggers. Event Sources Galore: Lambda can respond to a multitude of events, not just API Gateway calls. From changes in an S3 bucket to updates in a DynamoDB table, Lambda’s versatility is one of its standout features. State Management: Lambda functions are stateless, but that doesn’t mean you can’t manage state. Using services like DynamoDB or ElastiCache, you can maintain state across function invocations. Optimization Tips: Cold starts can be a concern, especially for VPC-connected functions. Keeping your code lean, optimizing dependencies, and using provisioned concurrency are some ways to improve response times. <a href="https://medium.com/@oguzhanhiziroglu/discovering-the-synergy-between-aws-lambda-and-api-gateway-5df8533fb1c9">Learn More</a>
