Summary and Quiz

In this lesson, we’ll summarize what we have learned about Serverless Computing and its services. Also, we'll test our knowledge through a quiz.

Summary

Here is a summary of key takeaways from the Serverless Computing section:

• Serverless Architecture: A serverless architecture comprises serverless computing services that execute without the need to deploy or configure any servers on the developer’s end. A serverless application comprises multiple serverless microservices, has less execution cost, and is highly scalable.

• AWS Lambda: AWS Lambda is a FaaS, serverless computing service that allows us to run code without provisioning or managing servers. It is invoked by an Event, which triggers the Lambda function to launch an execution environment containing memory and RAM and execute the code.

• AWS Fargate: AWS Fargate is an on demand, serverless compute engine provided by AWS. It allows us to run our containerized applications without provisioning or managing the underlying infrastructure.
