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.

"If you want to go Serverless, AW Lambda Functions for you"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Recently AWS Lambda launched the tmp storage of 10GB, that's great. The best thing about the AWS Lambda function is it scalable and you can use it on demand. You can have multiple run times in it. Deployment to serverless lambda is quite easy for me. AWS provider multiple integration of lambda function with other services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda sometimes doesn't let me update the code in IDE. So I have to manually update the zip file from the S3 bucket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Event driven serverless computing service provided by AWS"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I have been using AWS lambda for quite sometime, the main advantage is the fact that you need not think about the underlying infrastructure requirement for you functions. Its the best way to run scheduled jobs, alert driven automation etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

There is no big cons in my usage, but aws lambda had hardware limitations. The disk space can only be 512 mb and memory is 3 gb.. also execution time can be max 15 mins only. These can be improved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS lambda a great tool"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

- No need to worry if our server are down or balancing the load on server

- Pay as we use , so when there's no load we do not need to pay additional money

- Cost effective in comparison to starting traditional server

- Do not need to worry how code will deploy as AWS takes care of everything

- If traffic increases exponentially lambda helps in scaling Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

- It's max computation time is 15 minutes after which it gives a timeout so if we need to do heavy computation like downloading and processing files from S3 , lambda may time out

- The first request sent to lambda acts as waking up the lambda so it takes times to serve the lambda but the subsequent requests will be pretty fast Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS Cloud: World's Best Cloud Services"
What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

With each new iteration, AWS cloud services is getting better. AWS Cloud is the oldest in the market which makes it the most advanced with hunderds of services embedded in it. It is also easy to understand and use. Their security products are intriguing, and the integration is very strong. Every day, Amazon introduces new products keepind in mind the requirement of its users.

Serverless architecture is simple to deploy through the channel concept and simple to integrate through the organisational model. The fact that Amazon AWS has numerous data centres and locations where we may place our virtual machines for maximum advantage is one of its most significant features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

Since AWS is the oldest cloud service in the market, It has a lot features which makes it difficult for a new user to understand. Also, the cost of AWS for personal use case is little higher but if you are lookig for your company, its not that high. Although it is simple to customise the safety net, the user must have a solid grasp of web protocols. As Amazon charges money based on the amount of rules set, the cost to operate this service might drastically rise if it is not taken care of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS Lambdas have worked well for our serverless architecture"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The granular nature allows developers to build and solve very specific problems. Pricing and deployment of lambdas is easy and quick too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

We have run into a few scenarios where a different approach instead of Lambdas is a more appropriate solution. Long-running or memory-intensive tasks are not as well suited for Lambdas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
