AWS launches Lambda Web Functions for running HTTP servers without adapters

AWS announced Lambda Web Functions, a serverless option that runs a standard Node.js HTTP server without adapters or event handlers. A single environment handles multiple concurrent requests, with maxConcurrencyPerEnvironment from 1 to 128, request timeout up to 900 seconds, and support limited to Node.js and HTTP/1.1.

• One environment handles multiple concurrent requests, limit 1–128
• Request timeout up to 900 seconds, only Node.js and HTTP/1.1 supported
• maxEnvironments and rateLimit can be changed live without redeploying
• Billing covers active CPU and memory; waiting time is barely charged
