"With Lambda, you can run code for virtually any type of application or backend service - all with zero administration. Just upload your code and Lambda takes care of everything required to run and scale your code with high availability. "
I.e. wrap your code as if it were a lambda function, and pass it to us. It will work when we call it just as well as when you do in the original environment.
Sounds like a better name would be "Amazon Macro", though. This is because the "lambda" (user's application) likely refers to features of the hosting environment and is influenced by them; it is not referentially transparent to place code on a server, even if the grunt work of setting up the surroundings is done by a "macro".
"Lambda" is a hot buzzword though, as some notable Blub languages have been scrambling to integrate them, whereas "macro" has a stained reputation.
