A solutions architect is designing a new API using Amazon API Gateway that will receive requests from users. The volume of requests is highly variable; several hours can pass without receiving a single request. The data processing will take place asynchronously, but should be completed within a few seconds after a request is made. Which compute service should the solutions architect have the API invoke to deliver the requirements at the lowest cost?

AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that is cost-effective for highly variable workloads and can process requests asynchronously within seconds. It charges only for the compute time used, making it the lowest cost option for sporadic requests.
