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.

"Best Serverless Cloud Platform available"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda automatically scales the application in response to incoming request volume, and runs the code without creating or managing servers.

It simply charges for the volume of requests and the compute time used to execute the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

These are some potential limitations of using AWS Lambda, like Cold start, Concurrency and Resource limitations which become problematic for applications that experience abrupt spikes in traffic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS is the best"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda is a great service that lets me focus on the real work at hand. I don't have to worry about setting up servers and managing them, or worrying about whether my code is going to break because I'm using an older version of something or another. The service is always up-to-date, so I know that any issues will be addressed as soon as possible, which makes me feel like I can focus on what's important: making sure my applications are running smoothly and meeting user needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

I dislike that it can be hard to debug when things go wrong. It's also a bit difficult to get started with Lambda because you have to learn how to use AWS CLI, which is not very intuitive for beginners. It's also hard to find out how long your functions take to run, which makes it hard to determine how many resources they're using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Serverless architectures were made famous thanks to AWS Lambda."
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

It is very useful when building serverless architectures. Easy to build, deploy, provision and scale. Really cost effective, cannot imagine what many workflows would be without it. Good for prototyping as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Coldstart is definitely a problem. Runtime has some constraints as well like memory and timeouts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Value for money with security and stability"
What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

Aws servers are available across the world so there is no need to think about connectivity issues and the physical location of servers.

Aws provides services for every aspect under a single dashboard to manage which makes it easy to eye-watch every service easily.

There are plenty of options of machines available which can be selected as per need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

The assistance from the AWS team is chargeable and also as you try to calculate the price for a month for a EC-2 machine it will not be correct because there are different charges applicable which depend upon the usage of the different services.

There should be a very easy way to project the monthly bill for the upcoming months Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One stop solution to data segregation and wrangling"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda provides data management with simple codes and is super cost-effective as it only charges for code run and no servers are required. It eventually improves efficiency and is cost-effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda is super cost-efficient in certain ways but the maximum code run time is 15 minutes and it is super challenging for long-running workloads. Also, payloads for each invocation is limited to 6MB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great option for Server less Computing!"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The best part is using Lambda was not setting it up as a server, installing all our files, and then running the code in a sandbox environment. It becomes so easy to set it up and also use inbuilt services with AWS. Lambda can be scaled up easily, and it's low in price. The tight integration with CloudWatch helps track requests in real-time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The only drawback is the amount of documentation which is available. It's hard to find your issues while going through the documentation. Also, setting up Lambda is not easy; initially needs to take help from the support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My Experience"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

We use AWS Lamba to support our serverless infrastructure using K8 cron jobs on the periodic platform which optimized our server cost by up to 25%, rather than having to run one server for each function and increase the server load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The version control can present a problem because it's hard to find the specific software versions of Node and Golang, which are also a bit more pricey than a third party system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
