The AWS SDK for JavaScript offers access to the AWS Lambda service through APIs, allowing developers to create, manage, and invoke Lambda functions from within their JavaScript applications. JavaScript AWS Lambda Libraries are a robust set of software components to develop and deploy applications. They enable developers to use the same code for client and server-side applications and provide a wide range of features and functionalities.

 

Lambda functions are serverless functions that are triggered by events. These events can be anything from a new data record being added to a database to a user clicking a button in an application. When an event is triggered, the Lambda function is executed. Lambda functions can be written in Node.js, Python, JavaScript, or C# and perform various tasks such as image processing, data analysis, or even machine learning. AWS Lambda is an Amazon Web Services (AWS) computing service that empowers you to execute the code without provisioning or managing servers. Without worrying about server provisioning or management, this "pay-per-use" cloud computing service enables developers to quickly and easily design and manage apps that respond to events and run code responding to those events. Applications of any size may be built, tested, deployed, and scaled quickly and efficiently while only incurring costs for the compute time required. 

 

The AWS Lambda Library contains a set of ready-made libraries that developers can use to develop their Lambda functions. These libraries are pre-packaged and contain functions, classes, and other tools designed to make it easier for developers to develop their Lambda functions. Some commonly used JavaScript AWS libraries that facilitate developers are shim, lambda-image, slack-commands, nodejs-lambda-middleware, synthetic-tests-pings, template-mailer-aws-lambda-client, lambda-oauth2, aws-lambda-toolkit, serverless-response, swf-hook.
