Lambda

Lambda refers to a concept that can be found in various contexts within computer science, particularly in programming and cloud computing. In programming, a lambda function is an anonymous function defined with no name, often used for short, throwaway functions that can be defined in a single line. It allows for functional programming techniques, enabling concise and readable code.

In cloud computing, particularly with AWS, Lambda is a serverless computing service that allows developers to run code in response to events without managing servers. This event-driven architecture simplifies application deployment and scaling, making it a popular choice for modern applications.
