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.

"AWS Lambda - Best Serverless in Cloud"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Aws provides one of the best services in the cloud AWS lambda service. The best part of the serverless function is we can pay for what we use. Lambda provides many user-friendly resources and is easily accessible and we can write lambda code using our favorite language (golang, python). I can easily interact with other aws services API gateway, dynamodb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

There are not many cons in aws lambda, the thing is to need to know about business cases and write your lambda code—the cost wise a little bit high other than all good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hard task made simple with AWS Lambda"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The simplicity, and several options, not only node but also phyton or now PHP. And the cheap, millions of requests with low price. Also is very easy to integrate with other services from AWS, like S3 or RDS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The AMI/images from Phyton's new releases contain lower features than previous ones. That's tricky and needs to build specific variants only to keep working the proved lambda functions. And the IAM roles to access those new images are more complicated than previous ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS - A one-stop destination for most of the cloud requirements."
What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the largest cloud infrastructure provider. Two of the best benefits of using AWS cloud are:

1) Generous Free-Tier for 1 year. For a small business owner like myself, this is a huge factor in moving to AWS from other cloud providers as I can try out most of its services before upgrading to premium specifications.

2) One-stop destination for almost all types of Cloud requirements. For computing, we have AWS EC2, Lighsail, etc. For object storage, we have different classes of S3. For serverless, AWS Lambda. For Emails we have SNS. This is just the tip of the iceberg. The list of service offerings seems endless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

One of the major cons of using AWS Cloud is partly due to its huge service offerings. It's endless. You need an AWS-certified expert to navigate and understand most of its services. It is difficult to navigate among the services, especially for a person who is new to the platform. My personal opinion is that the user experience could be friendlier. If you compare it with other small providers like DigitalOcean or Vultr, they feel a lot more user-friendly. Sometimes if you start using different services of AWS and are unfamiliar with the costs involved the bills start to pile up rather exponentially. The main reason could be its complex pricing structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best AWS Service for Serverless Use case"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Many things I like about the AWS Lambda services are:

- Follows serverless architecture where we can trigger the function based on some actions that happen in another service.

- pricing model is pay as you go.

- you don't have to provision the infrastructure AWS is managing by themselves you just have to focus on code.

- integrate with many services to provide and fulfill the given use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

As the AWS lambda has its own set of methodologies to work with so you might get the learning curve as well the AWS documentation also needs to improve a bit in this case. and the rest all over the Lambda function has no flaws it is the perfect set of serverless tech stack one can adopt.
