Source: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/?nc2=h_pr_ec2

Source: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/?nc2=h_pr_ec2

Can AWS Lambda be self-hosted?

We have only confirmed a cloud / SaaS deployment for AWS Lambda, so it appears to be vendor-hosted. If a self-hosted option exists we have not found it documented publicly.

Source: https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/pricing/?nc2=h_pr_br

What does AWS Lambda integrate with?

We have confirmed 13 integrations for AWS Lambda, including AWS S3, AWS DynamoDB, AWS Kinesis, AWS SQS, AWS EventBridge, Amazon MSK, AWS CloudWatch and AWS X-Ray, plus 5 more. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.

What security certifications does AWS Lambda have?

We have independently confirmed SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and GDPR for AWS Lambda. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as AWS Lambda not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.

Where is AWS Lambda available?

AWS Lambda is available worldwide. Its primary market is the United States.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence

Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for AWS Lambda, not the verdict.
