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 Function-as-a-service in Market"

4.5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I have been using AWS Lamda for a long time The best capabilities I liked about it are:

1) I don't need to create or manage new servers for my deployment or small capabilities

2) The environment setup load is now negligible, and I can focus on my code and not waste my time on the environment

3) As AWS is a pay-as-you-go model, I don't have to waste my time on the pricing, and minimized for us as well as my client

4) One of the best things is the easy integration of mass mailing using AWS lambda and SES in my project Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Some of the problems that I faced with AWS Lambda are:

1) Timeout options: Sometimes the job that I give in Lambda requires more run time but the jobs get timeout due to Lambda restrictions after 5-7 minutes

2) The logs and monitor of the jobs in Lambda gets a little complicated and sometimes the real issue doesn't get caught easily Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The most important problem Lambda is solving is letting the user focus on the code and business, instead of the Environment or the server part which really saves a lot of time and effort for me and my team work. Other than that the pay-as-you-go model also saves the manual effort of monitoring the price of the system and is very cost-effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"As a developer, best tool to run your code"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Supports wide range of languages. I mostly code in python. The best thing about lambda is that it is very quickly with the results. Computational power at the given price is excellent. Love that first million requests are free Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Connection time out time is limited to 15 min. For longer running workload this is an issue.also function takes longer time to launch than expected.GUI in azure functions is better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Using Lambdas as Microservices"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The AWS Lambdas service is an excellent option to execute code without the need for a server, it is cross-platform, it works with several programming languages, it is scalable, it can be integrated with many AWS services through events. Lambdas are essentially a microservice-oriented technology, and together with the API Gateway service they can be orchestrated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

I have not had a bad experience with the AWS Lambda service, on the contrary it has gone very well for me Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS Lambda:

Taking advantage of the AWS Lambdas service, the possibility of working with the appropriate programming language and microservice-oriented architecture, is also very economical since it has a free tier of 1,000,000 executions per month Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The main problem that the Lambda service on AWS solved was migrating the on-premise APIs to a microservice-oriented architecture in the cloud. Through the API Gateway it was possible to orchestrate each of the microservices and expose them to the internet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Light weight function to do any heavy task"

4.5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

It's a serverless service, you just need to write your code and deploy it all infrastructure will be handled internally.

The best feature I like of AWS lambda is it's event driven compute, we have used this with AWS S3 and Amazon API gateway to perform the taks and that was very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

There is nothing as such to dislike, it provides all the services which is required to develop a cloud project.

Just one thing I feel that can be improved is the documentation to configure this, so it will be easy for a new user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS Lambda:

Highly Recommended Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As it is a serverless so we don't required to setup any infrastructure behind this. We are using it to run based on some events in S3 and also with the Amazon API gateway and that's very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Robust service for versatile use"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The very nature of Lambda function that it runs as a managed service and its native integration with multiple AWS services presents it as a powerful tool that can be used in multiple scenarios. The Lambda function can be used to create REST services as well as to create event driven systems. They can also be used for small computations between two systems.

The service offers a variety of languages to choose from as well as a variety of computation options where I can choose the memory size and reserve some ready instances based on my need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

First point that seems to be a drawback is the limitation on the size of code that can be put into lambda functions. Second point is the maximum timeout of 15 minutes which makes it impossible to use lambda function for long running jobs. Third point is non availability of a considerable local space for file operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I used lambda function for a variety of purposes.

1. I have used lambda function to create REST services by setting this as a target behind the AWS API Gateway.

2. On another instance, I have used them to process daily reports.

3. I have also used them to send notification when an object is uploaded to a bucket.

4. I have also used them to authenticate the calls made to the Cloudfront content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A cost-saving solution for code snippets"

4.5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The most useful part of this functionality is the pay-as-you-go service. It saves an ample amount of money for the business and also for individuals. Also, multiple other services can be integrated with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

There are no downsides of Lambda as such except for the complex procedure when the deployments are to be done via a programmatic approach compared to the console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Developer friendly Serverless service"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Lambda is easy to learn and use. It is very efficient in a serverless environment and it reduces the cost of execution. It only bills for the time that we make use of it. No need to worry about scaling the server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Less control on the lambda environment. A lambda function can have only 256 MB of size including all the files, packages and dependencies. It will be difficult to host a service that requires large dependency packages. Also, there is an issue with a cold start, that is, when the lambda is idle for a long time and we request the service, the latency will be high. It requires lambda some time to start from a cold state. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
