We’ll use Amazon Web Services’ serverless platform, AWS Lambda, to create Lambda functions. Lambda lets you focus on writing code rather than managing servers and costs. We use MongoDB: a No.J database to store scooters’ data and payment transaction information. We also need a way to calculate prices in realtime using SORACOM Funk. We can offload this time and power-intensive logic onto Lambda using Lambda. It essentially streamlines the process of passing data from the eScooter-mounted Raspberry Pi and a serverless compute instance like Lambda to the cloud.
