* Instead of running servers like EC2 where you pay for the instance, in Lambda, you **run the functions you want to do** and you **only pay for the compute time you use**.<br>
* **Serverless** - you don't have to manage any servers.<br>
* **Scales automatically** and seamlessly.<br>
* Lots of programming languages are supported.<br>
* **Pricing:**\
  **-** You are charged based on the number of requests for your functions and the time it takes for your code to execute.
