Firstly, you need to make use of the Lambda console for creating a respective function, following to which you have to invoke it. Once the function is invoked, you will have to view the metrics present within the logs and trace relevant data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing you need to keep in mind is to create an AWS account for using Lambda or any other AWS services. For creating an account, all you have to do is visit the site\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aws.amazon.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">aws.amazon.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0and select the relevant option for creating your AWS account. Create a password referring to your console access and add respective access keys for using the command line tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Want to learn more about AWS Lambda?

There is a default code editor within the console meant for non-compiled languages. This editor allows you to test and modify the code in a shorter span of time. AWS CLI is meant to give direct access to Lambda API for automation and associated configurations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two types of deployment packages embedded with AWS Lambda that is .zip file and a container image. Both have the potential to store the function code and the dependencies within them for further accessibility.

Now, you will have to implement the handler method and create an IAM role for giving Lambda full access to the Lambda function.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow the respective steps to create an S3 bucket for the Lambda code to store your project while you will be uploading it. For every new project, you will have to create a new S3 bucket.
