Product Benefits

AWS offers technologies for running code, managing data, and integrating applications, all without managing servers. Serverless technologies feature automatic scaling, built-in high availability, and a pay-for-use billing model to increase agility and optimize costs. These technologies also eliminate infrastructure management tasks like capacity provisioning and patching, so you can focus on writing code that serves your customers. Serverless applications start with AWS Lambda, an event-driven compute service natively integrated with over 200 AWS services and software as a service (SaaS) applications.

Eliminate operational overhead so your teams can release quickly, get feedback, and iterate to get to market faster.

With a pay-for-value billing model, resource utilization is automatically optimized and you never pay for over-provisioning.

With technologies that automatically scale from zero to peak demands, you can adapt to customer needs faster than ever.

Serverless applications have built-in service integrations, so you can focus on building your application instead of configuring it.

    Build a Serverless Web Application

    In this tutorial, you'll create a simple serverless web application that enables users to request unicorn rides from the Wild Rydes fleet. The application will present users with an HTML based user interface for indicating the location where they would like to be picked up and will interface on the backend with a RESTful web service to submit the request and dispatch a nearby unicorn. The application will also provide facilities for users to register with the service and log in before requesting rides.
