Serverless Computing with AWS Lambda Explained

In this video, we explore Serverless Computing, a transformative trend in cloud computing that allows developers to build and run applications without managing infrastructure. We’ll break down what serverless means, how it works with AWS Lambda, and its key components like auto-scaling, event-driven functions, and cost efficiency. You’ll learn how to leverage serverless for real-world applications like image processing, API management, and microservices architectures. We’ll also cover its challenges, use cases, and future trends, making serverless a must-know for developers and businesses alike!

Thank you so much for the explanation !!! Including real use cases and showing how the system works with AWS, and the limitations made the concepts easier to understand.

Sir, @1:52 you mentioned that Lambda function (or any similar 'serverless' function) would not be waiting for a request. But a few seconds later you also say that the Lambda Function is triggered by any event such as 'HTTP Request'. But a HTTP request can only TRIGGER, when it's received on the Network interface of the server (which is under the hood) that the Lambda function sits on right??? So that ESSENTIALLY means that Lambda is LISTENING for a HTTP request always. Is that the case or is my understanding skewed a little?
