什么是 AWS Lambda 的 Handler？

Handler 是 Lambda 函数的唯一入口点，可以将其类比为传统编程中的 main 函数。当 Lambda 被触发时，服务会根据预先定义的协议寻找这个特定的函数执行。无论代码逻辑有多复杂，所有请求都必须通过这个“大门”进入。在编写代码时，必须严格遵守特定语言的签名约定，例如在 Python 中，Handler 必须能够接收 event 和 context 两个参数，否则会导致调用失败。

Event 对象和 Context 对象有什么区别？

Event 对象关注的是“外部发生了什么”，它是一个 JSON 格式的数据包，包含了触发该函数的所有细节。其内容根据触发源的不同而变化，例如 API 网关触发时包含 HTTP 请求信息，而 S3 触发时则包含文件名等信息。相比之下，Context 对象关注的是“运行环境的处境”，它提供了关于调用的元数据，如请求 ID、函数的执行环境信息，以及用于监控剩余运行时间的工具。

Lambda 是如何实现按需付费和自动缩放的？

Lambda 采用“不运行，不计费”的模式，计费单位精确到毫秒。它不需要开发者预租服务器，而是由 AWS 管理容器。当事件触发时，容器自动启动运行代码，一旦任务完成或闲置，容器就会被销毁。在面对流量高峰时，AWS 会根据进入的 Event 数量自动启动相应数量的容器进行缩放，从而实现从零请求到每秒数千请求的自如应对。

在实战开发 Lambda 时有哪些常见的注意事项？

首先是确保 Handler 的参数签名正确，即使代码中不需要用到 context 参数，也必须在定义中予以保留。其次是处理 Event 对象时要进行类型校验，因为不同触发源传来的 JSON 结构差异巨大。此外，建议利用 CloudWatch 查看日志进行调试，并遵循“最小权限”原则配置 IAM 角色，以确保函数的安全性。最后，由于容器在闲置后会被销毁，开发者需要考虑“冷启动”带来的轻微延迟。
