Deepen your understanding of using Amazon S3 for storing and retrieving large objects, and how S3 events can trigger Lambda for processing.

S3 & Lambda: Event Power

Welcome! In this lesson, we'll dive into how Amazon S3, a powerful storage service, works hand-in-hand with AWS Lambda.

You'll learn to store and retrieve files, and critically, how S3 can trigger your Lambda functions automatically when something happens to your data.

Amazon S3: Cloud Storage

Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a highly scalable, durable, and available object storage service.

  • It stores data as objects within buckets.
  • Objects are files (images, videos, documents) and their metadata.
  • Buckets are like top-level folders, globally unique names.
  • S3 is perfect for storing large amounts of unstructured data.
