AWS Lambda Overview

What is AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. You pay only for the compute time you consume - there is no charge when your code is not running. 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. You can set up your code to automatically trigger from other AWS services or call it directly from any web or mobile app.

The layer used to install and add all necessary packages is not straightforward to implement and it needs some practice. There is a 15 minutes limit on the duration of each Lambda function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, cheap and easy"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Super fast cold start times and large number of languages supported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The best deployment method is probably Serverless, which is unofficial. It would be much better if AWS offered a more simple efficient deployment/dev pipeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Scalable, Cost-Effective, and Easy-to-Use Serverless Computing Platform"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

- Scalability: Lambda functions can scale automatically to meet demand, so you don't have to worry about overprovisioning servers.

- Cost-effectiveness: Lambda is a pay-per-use service, so you only pay for the time your functions run. This can help you save money on your cloud computing costs.

- Ease of use: Lambda is easy to use and manage. You can create and deploy Lambda functions in minutes, and you don't have to worry about server administration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The main thing I dislike about AWS Lambda is the cold start time. The first time a Lambda function is invoked, it can take a few seconds to start up. This is called a "cold start." Cold starts can be a problem for applications that need to be very responsive, such as real-time applications.

Another thing I dislike about AWS Lambda is the function size limit. Lambda functions are limited to 50MB in size. This can be a problem for applications that need to store a lot of data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
