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.

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.

What problems is AWS Lambda solving and how is that benefiting you?

AWS Lambda is a serverless computing platform that removes the need to manage servers. It is scalable, cost-effective, and easy to use. I am benefiting from AWS Lambda by saving time, money, and flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
