Resources for Serverless Compute for More Kinds of Workloads
Lambda Managed Instances
Your functions, on EC2 instances Lambda manages
Run Event Functions, durable ones included, on EC2 instances in your account and VPC. Lambda launches, patches and terminates the instances. You pick the instance type, pay EC2 pricing with Savings Plans and Reserved Instances, and get a 90 minute timeout.
Build with an agent
Agent Toolkit for AWS
Your terminal or AI coding assistant plus the Agent Toolkit for AWS: current AWS documentation and tested skills that know the new Lambda form factors, so the agent can pick the shape that fits a workload and build it.
Lambda Web Functions
A standard HTTP server on Lambda
Your Node.js server listens on a port, with no adapter and no handler. Each execution environment serves many requests at once, CPU is billed only while your code runs, and one URL can serve several Regions. The demo deploys a streaming dashboard with a single command and measures 300 streaming requests across five environments.
Lambda MicroVMs
A sandbox you control
Launch, suspend, resume and terminate a microVM with its own kernel, built from an ordinary container image, with memory and disk kept across suspend for up to 8 hours. The demo uses the Lambda MicroVM Demo Playground for game servers, CI runners and an agent that builds an application from a prompt.

Workflows up to a year, with checkpoint and replay
Write a workflow as ordinary sequential code. Lambda checkpoints each step, suspends during waits and callbacks at no cost, and replays from the last checkpoint after a failure. The talk's expense claim walkthrough uses map, parallel, a manager-approval callback and an idempotent pay-out step.
