AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that enables running code without managing servers. It provides autoscaling and billing based on compute time usage. Common use cases include file processing, stream processing, and acting as a backend for web and mobile applications. AWS Lambda functions can be invoked by external HTTP requests or events triggered by over 200 different AWS services. To simplify monitoring of AWS Lambda functions with InfluxDB, a pre-built template has been created that makes getting Lambda function metrics into InfluxDB straightforward. This article explains what InfluxDB Templates are and how to set up the AWS Lambda Template.
