Starting Guide to Using Python on AWS Lambda

Python is an object oriented language developed 1991 as a language that put focus on readability and simplicity of use. While it is not the fastest language, Python has a plethora of libraries for almost every need a programmer could have, making it one of the most popular programming languages in existence today. This popularity has made it a natural inclusion for another popular tool, Amazon’s AWS Lambda server-less computing platform. Because the service only charges for the resources computed, and does not force you to manage server space like other, similar platforms, it is quickly becoming popular among AWS customers, as it lowers their spending and saves them work. In this blog post, I will be exploring the basics of getting started with the Python language and its deployment onto AWS Lambda.
