AWS Lambda

Amazon's function-as-a-service primitive, running a handler on demand in a short-lived isolated environment and billing per invocation.

aws.amazon.com/lambda/pricing

The raw serverless primitive.

Lambda runs a handler on demand in an isolated, short-lived environment and bills per request and per gigabyte-second of execution. It is a building block rather than a platform: the database, object storage, HTTP gateway and session handling are separate AWS services assembled around it. The execution model carries hard edges — a bounded run time per invocation, a limit on deployment package size, a small ephemeral filesystem and no state carried from one invocation to the next.

The managed runtimes AWS lists are Node.js, Python, Java, .NET and Ruby, alongside an OS-only runtime for everything else and the option of supplying a container image. Any language outside the managed set arrives through a custom runtime: a bootstrap executable implementing the Lambda runtime loop, in practice supplied by a community layer rather than written by hand.

A monthly allowance of requests and compute time is included and recurs each month rather than expiring, with usage above it metered.
