What Is Lambda Memory

Memory is the amount of memory available to your Lambda function at runtime. You can increase or decrease the memory and CPU power allocated to your function using the Memory (MB) setting. To configure the memory for your function, set a value between 128 MB and 10,240 MB in 1-MB increments.

How do you calculate GBS per second?

So if your code uses 1 GB for 1 minute then 2 GB for two minutes, the accumulated memory usage is 1*60 + 2*120 = 300 GByte seconds. The Gigabyte-second unit specifies the amount of memory allocated to a task per second that that task runs. Example: Task 1: 1 GB * 10 seconds = 10 gb-sec.

When should I use AWS Lambda?

Use a Lambda when you need to access several services or do custom processing. As data flows through services, you use Lambdas to run custom code on that data stream. This is useful in a Kinesis Pipeline that’s receiving data from things like IoT devices.
