You simply upload your code and Lambda will run it. For this reason, this approach is commonly known as serverless computing. This approach has several advantages. You do not need to manage servers, including deploying, maintaining, and scaling them. You save costs by paying only for the compute time you consume. There is no charge when your code is not running. And you can create an event-driven architecture by running code in response to events.
