AWS Lambda
AWS serverless compute platform for running agent logic, inference tasks, and event-driven AI workflows without provisioning servers. Supports Python, Node.js, and container images for packaging LLM inference with ONNX or lightweight models. Billed per request and per GB-second of execution. Free tier: 1M requests and 400K GB-seconds monthly. Popular for cost-efficient AI inference when GPU is not required.
Solid choice for most workflows
You need to run agent logic, inference tasks, or event-driven AI workflows without managing servers or worrying about scaling during traffic spikes.
Near-zero ops overhead with automatic scaling to thousands of requests/sec; cold starts add 100-500ms latency (mitigate with Provisioned Concurrency); excels at CPU-bound inference but no GPU support.
You want cost-efficient, low-latency processing for sporadic workloads like real-time data streams, cron jobs, or file uploads in AI pipelines.
Pays for GB-seconds only (free tier covers most prototypes); handles variable loads effortlessly but monitor execution time limits (15min max).
No GPU acceleration
Limited to CPU-only inference; unsuitable for heavy ML models requiring GPU. Use SageMaker or EC2 for those.
Cold start latency
First invocation after idle can take 100ms-2s due to container spin-up, impacting real-time AI response times. Avoid by using Provisioned Concurrency or keeping functions warm.
Lambda for sub-second event bursts; Fargate for steady long-running containers.
Event-driven, unpredictable workloads under 15min execution.
Need full container control, longer runtimes, or stateful apps.
Trust Breakdown
What It Actually Does
AWS Lambda runs your code in response to events like file uploads or API calls, without you managing any servers. It scales automatically and charges only for the time your code actually runs.[1][4][7]
