Amazon Lambda (AWS Lambda)

 AWS Lambda is an event-driven, serverless computing platform provided by Amazon as a part of Amazon Web Services.

It is a computing service that runs code in response to events and automatically manages the computing resources required by that code.

It was introduced on November 13, 2014.



AWS Lambda was designed for use cases such as image or object uploads to Amazon S3, updates to DynamoDB tables, responding to website clicks, or reacting to sensor readings from an IoT connected device. 

Unlike Amazon EC2, which is priced by the hour but metered by the second, AWS Lambda is metered by rounding up to the nearest millisecond with no minimum execution time.

AWS Lambda can also be used to automatically provision back-end services triggered by custom HTTP requests, and "spin down" such services when not in use, to save resources.

Since December 2020 Lambda supports Docker containers through ECR up to 10 GB in size.

System.out.println In Java

System  is a class in the  java .lang package.  out  is a static member of the  System  class, and is an instance of  java .io.PrintStream .  println  is a method of  java .io.PrintStream . This method is overloaded to print message to output destination, which is typically a console or file. System is a class, that has a public static field out . So it's more like. public final class System { /** * The "standard" output stream. This stream is already * open and ready to accept output data. Typically this stream * corresponds to display output or another output destination * specified by the host environment or user. * <p> * For simple stand-alone Java applications, a typical way to write * a line of output data is: * <blockquote><pre> * System.out.println(data) * </pre></blockquote> * <p> * See the <code>println...

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is an open standard file format and data interchange format that uses human-readable text to store and transmit data objects consisting of attribute–value pairs and arrays (or other serializable values). It is a common data format with diverse uses in electronic data interchange, including that of web applications with servers. JSON is a language-independent data format. It was derived from JavaScript, but many modern programming languages include code to generate and parse JSON-format data. JSON filenames use the extension .json. Any valid JSON file is a valid JavaScript (.js) file, even though it makes no changes to a web page on its own. Douglas Crockford originally specified the JSON format in the early 2000s. He and Chip Morningstar sent the first JSON message in April 2001. Official website :- https://json.org/

Amazon DynamoDB : Fully managed proprietary NoSQL database service

 Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed proprietary NoSQL database service that supports key–value and document data structures and is offered by Amazon.com as part of the Amazon Web Services portfolio. Dynamo had a multi-leader design requiring the client to resolve version conflicts and DynamoDB uses synchronous replication across multiple data centers for high durability and availability.  DynamoDB was announced by Amazon CTO Werner Vogels on January 18, 2012, and is presented as an evolution of Amazon SimpleDB. DynamoDB differs from other Amazon services by allowing developers to purchase a service based on throughput, rather than storage. If Auto Scaling is enabled, then the database will scale automatically. To prevent data loss, DynamoDB features a two-tier backup system of replication and long-term storage. Each partition features three nodes, each of which contains a copy of that partition's data. Each node also contains two data structures: a B tree used to locate items,...
