Service Quotas

Remember AWS Lambda has default quotas (e.g., concurrency limits). Review Lambda quotas before scaling.

Getting Started

Sign in to the AWS Management Console.
Navigate to Lambda under the Compute section.
Create your first function using the Author from scratch option.

Next Steps

Proceed to Lesson 1: AWS Lambda Fundamentals, where we’ll define serverless computing and compare Lambda with traditional server setups. Let’s dive in!
