The AWS Lambda service supports executing your code in response to certain events within your application. Such events could include website clicks, image uploads, updates to certain data fields, document transformation, indexing, anomaly detection, errors detected in log files, sensitive or auditable events, unusual readings from sensors, and so on. You can also send notifications using SNS in response to these events.

Other AWS compute-related services include AWS Batch (to plan, schedule, and execute your batch jobs), AWS Elastic Beanstalk (for your application deployment and scalability requirements), Amazon EC2 Container Registry (to store, deploy, and manage Docker container images), and Amazon Lightsail (to launch and manage preconfigured virtual private servers).
