Lambda Quiz
A company is planning on building an application using the services available on AWS. This application will be stateless in nature, and the service must have the ability to scale according to the demand. Which of the following would be an ideal compute service to use in this scenario?
A. AWS DynamoDB
B. AWS Lambda
C. AWS S3
D. AWS SQS
B. AWS Lambda
The following content from an AWS Whitepaper supports the usage of AWS Lambda for this requirement: A stateless application is an application that needs no knowledge of previous interactions and stores no session information. Such an example could be an application that, given the same input, provides the same response to any end user. A stateless application can scale horizontally since any request can be serviced by any of the available compute resources (e.g., EC2 instances, AWS Lambda functions).
