AWS LAMBDA TURNS 10: A RARE LOOK AT THE DOC THAT STARTED IT

The service was born out of the observation that customers were inefficiently using EC2 fleets for simple functions, leading AWS to create a solution that allowed developers to focus on application logic rather than infrastructure management. The original PR/FAQ document that launched Lambda reveals the initial vision for serverless computing, features that have evolved over time, and ideas that eventually became full-fledged capabilities.
