AWS Lambda Introduction - What is it and Why is it Useful?

[@sursargam-nimish]

I did not know much about AWS until today and just within a few hours watching your videos on youtube, I don't feel overwhelmed anymore about learning everything that AWS has to offer. Serverless services make things so much easier for someone who is just starting to learn AWS. Thank you so much for your excellent videos!

[@lifelies]

So great explanations. I'm in Sec Arch but as ex-dev very hard to find learnings like this. Thx for all vids already 2hrs Today and getting back on AWS

[@lifelesstutorialbuilder1]

rise and shine mister freeman, *r i s e*

[@Morphletics]

Really like your videos. Thank you for the time and effort your put into these. Your video on S3 helped me get one of the best presentation grades in my AWS DevOps training cohort!

[@akab211]

Perhaps Gordon Freeman knows about lambdas?

[@BreadTeleporter1968]

Rise and Shine

[@JohnMalarky66]

Gordon doesn’t need to hear all of this, he’s a highly trained professional.

[@Liv4IT]

Useful precise and get to the point video thank you 😊

[@broncioaguilarsanjuan9750]

Awesome overview! Thanks! (: Can anyone expand on the limitations of using lambda? What specifics aspects of control one could consider not to use lambda instead of prioritising deployment for users?

[@NicoTsiridis]

Fantastic explanation, thanks!

[@anthonyparrett2779]

Really looking forward to more information about cold starts, especially when it comes to micro service architecture, if possible. Maybe even cost comparisons between running a server 24/7 with something like ECS/Fargate vs. using provisioned concurrency.

[@app-o-matix]

You might check out “Serverless Architectures on AWS - Second Edition” by Peter Sbarski, Yan Cui, and Ajay Nair. It discusses real life implementations using Lambda and Fargate with some mention of cost considerations. Am reading it now. Be sure to get the second edition, though, which is a very recent release.

[@hameddadgour]

Great video. Thank you for sharing!

[@MEIYANG-sj2sb]

nice video, thank you!

[@MhyB09]

very helpful and well explained. thank you

[@BeABetterDev]

This video is a free preview for my course: AWS Lambda - A Practical Guide. Join thousands of other students and learn the most important parts of AWS Lambda: bit.ly/aws-lambda-course

[@szeredaiakos]

If you can fill couple of datacenters with your company's infrastructure it is vastly cheaper to do it in-house. Agility included.

[@cashbin58]

Dawg that is just straight up the Half-life logo I mean its ORANGE for goodness sake

[@zuowang5185]

9:00 doesn't ec2 also 1. you don't not need to manage hardware 2. can use AWS builtin security 3. can autoscale 4. pay for what you use 5. performant 6. service integration 7. easy to use

[@josephrajareddy4606]

For lambda you’re billed when it is triggered, for ec2 you’re billed irrespective of usage.

[@МихаилЯнов-ч3я]

Great material, thank u.

[@AbdulRehman-hc9kc]

Very well explained

[@RandomN4me]

bro be using the half life lambda like its nothing

[@bobbyvishal8773]

Clean and simple

[@mostinho7]

Done thanks

[@trustypotato9998]

wait a seccond, isnt that the lambda on hal-

[@t1910j]

Enlightening!

[@rishiraj2548]

thanks

[@neopabo]

I have a sinking feeling small companies that launch products using Lambda will suddenly, mysteriously, be competing with Amazon's identical product 6 months down the line. Hm.

[@splat752]

Possibly. I am wondering what kind of people use it and for what. If one uses it for data science, say, with a long running CPU intensive task how expensive would it be and would I be better off using a VPS?

[@mrnobody5763]

I gonna take your course for sure. I want to ask U, what you would suggest the most for the local development environment setup between CDK and SAM? I need to use Lambda with Python for a project which will interact with SQS, Rest APIs and will probably use DynamoDB or Aurora for the data layer. Coming from the java world, I'd like to create lots of unit tests and mocks (I saw moto as framework) and be able to debug the code locally pointing to the real infrastructure or to mocks. With such requirements, what would you suggest between CDK and SAM? I saw the summary of your course and I didn't see anything regarding development environment setup, unit tests and mocks. Maybe something regarding CDK. If it is so, I suggest you to add something. Thank you a lot for all the work you do, really appreciated.

[@BeABetterDev]

Hi there. For infrastructure setup I suggest using cdk. For local testing, cdk has a new feature that lets you leverage Sam to execute your lambda code in a local docker container. I made a video on this recently called if you check my recent uploads. Hope this helps!

[@guestsneezeplayz]

why use the half life lambda instead of AWS lambda logo

[@duresabih]

Is there an updated video?

[@تحلیلبازارسهام-ج7ل]

VERY VERY GOOD

[@Omarwaqar-pt7wf]

What if someone spams your service or do DDOs attack on it you wallet will drain so how to protect our lambda services from these attacks

[@sreedevi1648]

Excellent

[@hamodeyDooba]

Hey Mate, Do you have coupon for you udemy course? I'm here to support your content , it look amazing

[@assadlayne6446]

really looking forward to your Udemy course but they don't seem to be having a sale right now - any chance of that happening soon or getting a coupon code?

[@JohnTheHumbleMan]

Wonderful course! It seems that you don't participate Udemy promotions? :P

[@momo_hl]

Half life moment

[@Trickshotplayz2009i-un2ds]

Gordon freeman! And about time to.

[@ernestoendean-hughes1328]

Big day today freeman

[@smellyfarter20]

Have you seen my coffee cup?

"Hi"

[@metrocop8484]

Oh god

[@momo_hl]

Have you seen a "Freeman" somewhere

[@Unit4170]

No

[@PankajVLOGZZz]

Can we deploy spring boot java application with lambda and dynamodb

[@Trickshotplayz2009i-un2ds]

Wait lambda is a real thing? I thought it was a half life thing

[@Toaster2thousand]

same

[@yoyoclockEbay]

He totally stole it from half life dude.

[@aplexcitygaming821]

Is lambda Iaac or Paac? I still get those mixed up

[@michellelunadev]

I think is PaaC because you dont need to install the runtime (Python, Node,etc), just choose it and write and execute code.

[@TheLostProbe]

he doesn't know 💀💀

[@dejay100]

I feel like companies who use lambda must have ridiculous ties.

[@dejay100]

he uses the half life logo in the thumbnail ☠

[@Aha5653ch.]

half life confirmed

[@gtjjo]

Half life real

[@mrrishiraj88]

🙏👍👍

[@Northstar2000]

You will own nothing and be happy

[@hazmatpants]

Why do we all have to wear these ridiculous ties?!

[@male_090]

Bruh just stoled logo from half life

[@somerandomaccount12]

HALF LIFE
