Showcase your programming and creative skills in the AWS Lambda Hackathon!
AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that helps you build applications quickly. With AWS Lambda, you can focus on writing code while AWS handles most infrastructure management tasks including automated scaling based on your application demands.
Requirements

- Your application must use AWS Lambda as a core service.
-
Your application must implement at least one Lambda trigger (e.g., API gateway, EventBridge).
-
[Optional] Your application may integrate with one or more AWS service of your choice (e.g., S3, DynamoDB, Bedrock)
