AWS Lambda runs functions on demand without managing servers, scaling to zero and billing per invocation.
Catalog categories: serverless.
Catalogued capability areas: - Event-driven function execution - Automatic scaling and scale-to-zero - Managed runtimes and triggers
This summary reflects the catalog record, not a complete product specification. Verify intended users, end-to-end workflows, supported platforms, edge cases, data handling, and constraints against cited sources. Treat capability labels as research leads until that verification is complete.
4 candidate projects in the landscape. A candidate may cover all, part, or none of what AWS Lambda does — read the coverage and gaps below.
Serverless functions on Kubernetes/Docker.
Community edition is open source.
Serverless serving and eventing on Kubernetes.
CNCF project.
Event-driven FaaS platform.
The original open FaaS.

Alternative coverage
Available. Multiple mature open serverless platforms exist.
The gap
AWS’s managed integrations (IAM, event sources, edge) and per-invocation economics differ.
This Markdown file is the coding-agent skill for AWS Lambda. Give it to your agent in your project; it guides research, reuse decisions, implementation and verification.
Give the AWS Lambda skill to your coding agent in your project. Ask it to evaluate OpenFaaS ↗ against your needs, reuse what fits, then follow the skill's build and verification instructions.
Give the product skill to your coding agent in the project where you want to build. Optional starter workspace: rae build product aws-lambda --out ./aws-lambda. CLI reference.
