Creating C# Lambda functions with AWS
On the 1st of December 2016, Amazon announced that C# was now a supported language for AWS Lambda. This is therefore really fresh off the press, so to speak, and developers can experiment with using AWS Lambda in their .NET applications. AWS Lambda allows you to deploy your code to AWS and not have to worry about the machines the code runs on or even worry about the scaling of those machines when demand increases. Your code will just work. This is really great for mobile developers. Up until December, AWS Lambda only supported Node.js, Pythos, and Java. Let's take a look at how to create a Lambda function in Visual Studio 2017 using C#.
