# AWS Lambda Functions
<a name="building-lambda"></a>

The AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code provides comprehensive support for AWS Lambda functions, enabling you to build, test, and deploy directly from VS Code.

Lambda is a fully managed, event-driven compute service that automatically runs your code in response to events from over 200 AWS services and software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications. For detailed information about the AWS Lambda service, see the [AWS Lambda](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/welcome.html) Developer Guide.

The following topics decribe how to work with AWS Lambda in the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code.
