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 core of a AWS based Serverless Application"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lamda is a great service for every kind of serverless application.

It will becaome the core of your serverless architecture processes.

It's flexibility is the main pro. You can use it anywere: create APIs connecting it with API Gateway, use it to elaborate records and messages in an event-based architecture or schedule it to trigger processes in different times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Using AWS Lambda in you application can have drawabacks relating to pricing and performance if used in bad way.

If you plan to have milions of API calls you should consider it's cold-start timeing or the cost for each concurrent trigger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Focus on the code not the infrastructure for tasks ranging from simple jobs to full web servers"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Because Lambda is serverless technology, it allows you to focus on the code and logic of your application, without having to worry about maintaining a server. It is remarkably affordable, with the first million monthly invocations free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The biggest downside of Lambda is the cold start time. Your code runs in a container and has to be loaded onto a server before it can run. This can take several hundred milliseconds and impacts performance for the calls that suffer from needing to load the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We're using Lambda for two main tasks - the first to host a full end-to-end web application in Next.js. Unlike previous websites I've created, there is no need to focus on configuring servers, opening ports, installing certifications, etc. A lot of that is handled automatically by Lambda or by services that make Next application deployment simple. The second task, which many people use when starting with Lambda, is to run a set of cron jobs. Some are triggered to run every few hours. Others are event-based, running when there's a change elsewhere in the system such as a file being written to S3. We let AWS manage triggering events in our architecture, while we focus on writing simple code that reacts to those changes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS Lambda: Serverless Computing Made Easy"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The ease of use and flexibility provided by AWS Lambda is super amazing. Also, we don't need to worry about managing servers or infra, which allows focusing on writing code and developing applications.

Also, It can be integrated with other AWS services, such as Amazon S3 very easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

It may not be the best choice for all use cases and developers should carefully consider their specific needs and requirements before choosing to use AWS Lambda.

Not all applications can easily be migrated to AWS Lambda. If we are migrating our legacy code base to serverless, there will be a lot of changes in architecture that need to be taken care of. Also, AWS Lambda doesn't support all the programming languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
