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.

"I use this service often in my projects. Simple, affordable, scalable"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS lambda is super helpful in POC and mid-level type projects. Initially, you don't want to bother scaling the application and worrying about the cost when you build projects. It's a serverless service, so the cloud provider manages everything. Just write the code and run the function. Different ways can trigger the function, and I have used API gateway.

I have triggered and run the lambda function thousands of times, but it didn't bill me even 1$. It's this much affordable.

By far my best service from the last three years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Function timeout is 15 minutes, and this disappoints me often.

So it's not for the task that can take more than 15 minutes to complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Serverless at scale with ease"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I think the best thing about AWS Lambda is the ease, and speed at which you can develop new applications, scripts, and tools. Using AWS CLI and AWS Sam CLI you can deploy an app at hyperspeed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Pricing of AWS Lambda can get slightly confusing and concerning if you are a low budget personal developer or a smaller company. I think being able to set a budget would help cover this sort of downfall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Don't look for any other than AWS - ITS A POWERHOUSE"
What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

I pay for what I use as it uses pay-per-use pricing model. Also, if I go for reservedinstances, I get a high discount. Also, it has a super performance - I can't remember it going down. Apart from pricing and performance, the services it offers is commendable. It also offers free Identity and Access Management service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

To succesfully and efficiently use AWS Cloud, we need an expert who can look after the infra and efficiently use the instances and hence control the money spent. It carries a lot of documentation as compared to Azure and hence a dedicated resource is requried to take care of it. Also, not anyone can start deploying to it without having a robust cloud knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
