Abstract:

Everyone will agree to the fact that - Serverless is the "In Thing" now a days . Be it AWS , GCP or Azure everyone is talking about it. AWS provides a series of services which can be used to create a full fledged application. Out of all "Lambda functions" is the backbone of Serverless Computing on AWS Cloud Computing. It is the “Functions As a Service” (FaaS) offering and currently it is positioned against Google Cloud Functions and Microsoft Azure Functions.

The Big Question:

"Is everything Perfect in AWS Lambda?" .... Well it depends on how you use it and this is what I will cover in my Talk.
