How to Use AWS Lambda Serverless Functions with InfluxDB

For time series workloads the ability of serverless functions to scale up and down is a major advantage, especially for something like IoT devices that may have intermittent connectivity and might suddenly send data in bursts. In this type of situation, it doesn’t make sense to be paying for a server to be running 24/7 when you can use a serverless function and only pay for the compute you use.
