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.

"Amazing Cloud provider services"
What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

The ease of use and the scalability of the tool are really amazing. We used it for multiple purposes in the organization and it is the backbone of all our services. We can't imagine our organization now without AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

It would be really great if there are more tutorials available for building more complex use cases with ease. Also, we could really use some reusable libraries for existing solutions that we can simple plug and play with least customizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great platform with few limitations"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Serveless compute is the most liked feature of AWS lambda. One can code on the go and deploy quickly with layers. Good for jobs that runs quickly and more frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Timeout limitation, cannot use lambda for data-intensive tasks that require more time to load the data into the target. Timeout and payload limits are a few limitations that can be a deal breaker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Everything is magical on the cloud but still can be better"
What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

I think the scalability and control of what we can do and how quickly we can do with AWS is highly appreciatable. We have migrated data from Teradata to Snowflake using AWS as medium. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

Sometimes the services take very long to load & there are unlimited possibilities of things and UI can be improved a lot. Also it requires a lot of services to be used together a lot of times. I hate the part where they don't show all the resources in use from all the regions so we need to switch the region just to check the items one by one leading to high bills.

"Best in class event driven, on demand serverless computing platform with pay only for what you use."
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The most helpful things about AWS Lambda are -

Without worrying about provisioning servers we can run code within seconds at any scale.

Effective pricing model with Pay only for your compute time. (milliseconds, seconds) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Downsides of using Lambda are -

If your codebase is large and complex, lambda doesn't work well because it has limited execution time.

Because it is serverless, you don't have control over the environment which sometimes makes it difficult to monitor and debug. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Resilient application with in-built IDE and low cost execution"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I have started using this application two months back. At first, it took me a bit of time to learn it, but after that, I was able to use it perfectly, and the cost that AWS Lambda charges are very reasonable. Also, it has this layer feature in which you do not have to export a file each time you want it, and it will be automatically added to the layers of code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

This service is very helpful, but the call patterns in AWS Lambda are a bit complex because we have to configure the test events every time we want to test our code which can be a bit hectic but apart from that, I faced no problem in using that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
