Serverless AWS Lambda Development
Increase agility and lower costs without servers.
Build serverless applications with AWS Lambda
We use AWS Lambda to build serverless applications and backends with continuous scalability and cost flexibility. Responding to public or private triggers, running code in parallel and individually processing events enables your application to scale exactly with your workload needs — you pay only when your code is running. AWS Lambda’s serverless architecture also lets you implement microservices, eliminating the need to manage servers and reducing the administrative burden of code monitoring and logging.
AWS Lambda Features
We deploy the AWS Lambda serverless platform to deliver reliable, secure, scalable solutions for fast, efficient delivery at reasonable costs — powerful microservice architectures that enable rapid agile development, improve security and compliance, and support data and analytics.
Bring Your Own Code
No new languages, tools, or frameworks to learn. Use any third-party or AWS native library.
Automatic Scaling
Run your code within milliseconds of an event and automatically scale to support the rate of incoming requests.
Pay Per Use Billing
Only get charged while your code is running — no instance or server charges.
Improve Performance
Achieve consistent performance for latency-sensitive applications without changing your code or managing compute resources.
Trust and Integrity Controls
Code Signing verifies that only unaltered code published by approved developers is deployed in your Lambda functions.
Integrated Security Model
Full integration with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to ensure secure code access to other AWS services.
Key Takeaways
- AWS Lambda enables serverless applications and backends that scale automatically and only charge for actual code execution time.
- Effectual builds Lambda-based microservice architectures that improve security, compliance, and support for data and analytics workloads.
- Key Lambda features include bring-your-own-code flexibility, automatic scaling, pay-per-use billing, code signing for trust and integrity, and full IAM integration.
- Combined with Kinesis, DynamoDB, S3, and CloudWatch, Effectual designs scalable backends capable of processing data from thousands of connected IoT devices.
- Effectual has applied Lambda-based serverless architecture in real projects, including satellite imagery processing that cut costs by 80% for a federal agency.
Scalable Backend for IoT
Combined with Amazon Kinesis, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon S3, and Amazon CloudWatch, we design and develop scalable, cost-efficient applications capable of processing data generated by thousands of connected devices. Manage your fleet of IoT devices using AWS Lambda functions to record sensor data, track errors, and scale as your devices grow.

What is AWS Lambda used for?
AWS Lambda is used to build serverless applications and backends that scale automatically in response to triggers, without needing to manage servers, and only charges while code is running.
How does Effectual use AWS Lambda for IoT applications?
Effectual combines Lambda with Amazon Kinesis, DynamoDB, S3, and CloudWatch to build scalable backends that record sensor data, track errors, and scale as connected IoT device fleets grow.
What security features does AWS Lambda offer?
AWS Lambda includes Code Signing to verify only approved, unaltered code is deployed, plus full integration with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) for secure access control.
How does AWS Lambda pricing work?
AWS Lambda uses pay-per-use billing — you're only charged while your code is actually running, with no instance or server charges.
Has Effectual delivered real-world results using AWS Lambda?
Yes — Effectual helped a federal agency migrate satellite imagery processing to a serverless AWS Lambda infrastructure, reducing costs by 80% and improving availability.
