What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

AWS Lambda@Edge

A CloudFront feature that executes serverless code at AWS edge locations worldwide, reducing latency and enabling dynamic content delivery without provisioning or managing origin infrastructure

Independently observed

Fission

Developers write short-lived functions that are triggered by HTTP requests or events, while the framework handles Kubernetes infrastructure management automatically. This eliminates the need to manually build containers or manage registries.
