Microservices architecture: the case of AWS

Serverless computing represents the pinnacle of cloud abstraction, focusing solely on code functionality rather than underlying infrastructure. It eliminates concerns about servers, operating systems, and runtime environments, allowing for the execution of code snippets upon specific events. AWS Lambda exemplifies this model, offering a platform where only the necessary code runs when triggered, devoid of server or OS knowledge. This approach is instrumental in developing microservices architectures, with AWS services like API Gateway and S3 acting as event sources to invoke Lambda functions. Such architecture simplifies operations, reducing maintenance and enabling a focus on application logic, thereby enhancing efficiency and scalability in deploying Artificial Intelligence solutions.
