Ignition: Implement a Lambda Function in AWS
Deploy a Python Lambda function, understand the handler, event-driven architecture, pricing and best practices.
This hands-on Ignition course guides learners step by step through creating and deploying an end-to-end AWS Lambda function. The concrete use case is a canary — a small standalone program that monitors website availability and stores the results as a JSON file in Amazon S3.
AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that runs code in response to events and automatically manages the underlying compute resources. There is no need to provision or manage servers.
