In AWS Lambda basically we upload a function which can receive data through either events invoked by other AWS services or custom ones that we create or can even be invoked via a HTTP call with AWS API gateway sitting at front. The latter configuration basically means that we can deploy an entire application server-less, with paying only by the time that our function needs to run coupled with the resource that we configure that each function receives.

• AWS Lambda allows developers to code and run various functions in response to specific events on an as-needed basis
• When an AWS Lambda function is called, the storage and compute resources for that function are provisioned automatically as a metered service
• Users are billed based on the number of requests served and the compute time needed to run the code, metered in increments of 100 milliseconds. If a function is never called, it costs the developer nothing
• Developers can list, delete, update and monitor functions through the Lambda dashboard, command-line interface or software development kit (SDK)
• The service also performs infrastructure-focused activities such as server and operating system maintenance, patch deployment and logging through AWS CloudWatch.
• Third-party logging APIs is also supported
• AWS Lambda is available with a free tier of service that includes one million free requests and 400,000 gigabyte-seconds of compute time per month.

Bamboo is a continuous integration (CI) server that can be used to automate the release management for a software application, creating a continuous delivery pipeline. Bamboo is a commercial product from atlassian. BAMBOO has multiple plugins to customize its usage. Further one can also extend the functionality  by writing its own plugins using the SDK’s provided. Some good points are that  Bamboo is an atlassian product, the integration of JIRA issue tracker and Clover, the code coverage tool, becomes easy with bamboo. However, the Automatic Branching/Merging backing makes Bamboo a far more pleasant work process for engineers.

It is a very popular dev tool company.It out of the box supports for Java, .NET, PHP, Javascript among others tools and completely automated with slick web UI. Bamboo has the ability to deploy parallel builds to multiple agents and build pipelines make it easy to create workflows. The analytical tools help highlight what went wrong. Few more things about Bamboo:

• Supports programmed stretching and combining
•  Integrates with many source control systems. Integrates well with rest of Atlassian suite. So on the off chance that you utilize Jira for bugs and story administration, and intersection for documentation, it’s anything but difficult to get bamboo to auto close stories/bugs as they’re sent, and overhaul conjunction documentation with each finished story.
• Has some cool extravagant accessories like recognizing if an arrangement is as of now halted.
• It’s elusive plugins for non-regular assignments or setup.
• It’s less well known than Jenkins. Hard to discover different clients to talk shop or request help.
