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 dislike about AWS Cloud?

Only the thing i dislike about AWS is naming of its services its not easier to find a service related to a particular search and naming its terms .

like example suppose S3 any new fresher wont be able to identify it as a storage service and the related term bucket it should have something named related to storage.

like other services like lightsail we wont know it is severless if you are a fresher. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

One of the best things about AWS Lambda is its seamless integration with various AWS services like S3, CloudWatch for logging, and email services. Whenever my lambda function is not able to work properly, I can simply go to clouwatch and see the logs and it help me to understand the problem. And one more thing is that it is easy to create AWS lambda function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda has predefined limits on memory allocation (almost 10Gb)which make it not suitable for heavy workloads.

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

1. I personally rely too much on lambda functions whenever I need to automate a certain action based on some triggers which happens on daily basis. The trigger can be as simple as user clicking on a button on some UI or as complicated as getting webhook notifications from any third party website.

2. Despite AWS's other offerings like EC2, I prefer using Lambda because it is reuse a lambda function in different places of a project or any project as long as the input argument remains the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

1. At times the execution endup taking time.

2. I found it pretty intimidating for even the technical person to learn AWS Lambda and how it can be used to automate several operations and save time. Although there are help documentation one can refer to, to learn and setup their AWS functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are IT service provides and deals with client's all across US, UK, Australia and Canada. There are client who wishes to automate their business workflow and that is when I suggest them to use AWS Lambda to automate tasks based on some predefined triggers of their choice.

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

What I like most about AWS Lambda is that it makes deploying code simple without needing to manage any servers. It scales up automatically when needed and only charges when your code is running, which helps keep costs under control. AWS Lambda also works well with other AWS services, making it really flexible for building event-driven applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

One of the challenges with Lambda is the "cold start" delay, which can slow things down a bit, especially if the function hasn’t been used in a while. Additionally, there’s a timeout limit that doesn’t work well with long-running tasks, so some processes have to be redesigned to fit within those limits. Lastly, costs can add up quickly with a high volume of requests, so it’s important to monitor usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

AWS Lambda eliminates the need for manual server management and scales automatically to match traffic. This saves time and reduces costs, especially for variable workloads. Its pay-per-use model and seamless integration with other AWS services enable us to quickly build and deploy applications, focusing on code instead of infrastructure.

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I use to develop automation scripts , where they will be running behind a cron jobs. Too much setup when coming to api connectivity, security, integrity. But I had to pay for electricity bill and other running things. AWS Lambda is basically, you get charged based on how many hits it gets. Hardly, I can hardcode a simple script which doesn't need a overkill server and thinking about cost, yes, I love this. Also I use lamba for security automation purpose for remediation or notification. One more thing in monitoring is, I can write a code to format raw logs from any software and convert it into specific format. Highlight is, I get control of event based run, time based run etc which helps me reduce my cost as much I can. Documentation are clear and easy . Implementing, yes with basic aws service knowledge and use cases. Support : AWS stands for a community. Its a day to daay job on my side. Integration part , it can be integrated with multiple services based on the scenario or business plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Nothing. It offfers me a good way to reduce my work and implementation process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have to remediate security issues when some threat is detected. So in case a leakage of PII on s3 by Macie, I could easily create a remediation step by encrpting the data . so lamda solves my problem of encrypting, purging with help of eventbridge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
