Customize at the edge with Lambda@Edge - Amazon CloudFront
AWSDocumentationAmazon CloudFrontDeveloper Guide


CUSTOMIZE AT THE EDGE WITH LAMBDA@EDGE


PDFRSS

Lambda@Edge is an extension of AWS Lambda. Lambda@Edge is a compute service that
lets you execute functions that customize the content that Amazon CloudFront
delivers. You can author Node.js or Python functions in the Lambda console in
one AWS Region, US East (N. Virginia).

After you create the function, you can add triggers using the Lambda console or
CloudFront console so that the functions run in AWS locations that are closer to
the viewer, without provisioning or managing servers. Optionally, you can use
Lambda and CloudFront API operations to set up your functions and triggers
programmatically.

Lambda@Edge scales automatically, from a few requests per day to thousands per
second. Processing requests at AWS locations closer to the viewer instead of on
origin servers significantly reduces latency and improves the user experience.
