One of the core and most frequently used use cases for Lambda has been effective management of the AWS infrastructure, mainly around EC2 instances, as this is where a majority of the costs are incurred unnecessarily. Before the advent of Lambda functions, a lot of organizations had to rely on third-party automation tools and services to run simple and straightforward tasks on their instances, such as taking periodic backups of an EBS volume, checking whether an instance is tagged or not, or shutting down large instances if they are not required to run 24/7, just to name a few. The worst issue in this case was also the management of the automation tool itself!
