AWS adds Web Functions to Lambda lineup

AWS introduced Lambda Web Functions, letting you deploy off-the-shelf HTTP web apps—think Express or Next.js—straight to Lambda without converting them to specialized event handlers. The update means your usual Node.js server code just works: you deploy, AWS manages scaling, global reach, and billing for only the CPU your code actually uses. It's designed for web applications and APIs that handle many simultaneous users.

• Deploys standard HTTP web servers on AWS Lambda
• Compatible with Node.js frameworks like Express, Next.js
• No need to rewrite applications for event handlers
• Lambda handles scaling and global distribution
• CPU time metering for cost efficiency
