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.

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The best thing about AWS Lambda is we can run/execute the code without provisioning or managing the servers and infrastuctures. It has auto scalability feature which ensures that no matter what will be the size of demand, it will still able to process and exceute it. It integrates with other AWS Services like S3, DynamoDB seamlessly. And also we need to pay only for the time it computes. It is also called Functionality as a Service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

One of the main limitations of AWS Lambda is the time limit imposed on the execution time of a function. It can only run for a maximum of 12-15 minutes which is not sufficient for longer tasks. Also there is a latency delay in initialization when the Lambda function is invoked for the first time after being idle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The major problem AWS Lambda solving is providing compute services to the users by eliminating the need to manage the infrastructure. User doesn't need to worry about the provisioning, patching or scaling the infrastructure. We are working on a web application for a client, where the client personnel will upload the images and the web application need to resize the image for thumbnails, convert the format and add watermarks before storing it in a S3 bucket. When the user uploads the image, the AWS Lambda function will get triggered, perform the required action and store the processed image back into the S3 bucket. By implementing Lambda function, we have automated this small task and got rid of managing a server for handling image processing task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

No infrastructure to maintain and quick setup. Can focus on solving the problem rather than worrying about infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Does not offer a startup step to do customisation to the underlying OS. While 15 minute is sufficient for the original purpose of lambda, it would have been really nice if there is an extended timeout option for some use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Lambda solves having to maintain a server to run your simple micro service. It also run on demand, reducing cost of keeping a server running all the time. It also removed the burden of maintaining multiple runtime ecosystems if your project uses multiple languages for various microservices (Python, Node.js etc) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Managing costs effectively can be challenging due to the complexity of AWS pricing.

What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

No doubt in it definitely the greatest and wonderful services it offers along with the clear UI and also each service has a small explanation in the AWS website.

While using it we the students some times get into trouble then the support that is provided is unmatchable by the other cloud services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

The privacy and security issues.

Yes they are best for experts but, for the beginners like us its unbearable and difficult. We need a lot of time to invest to delete something and also the complete deletion might not happen, if we are even a little careless a lot of cost is imposed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The database and web app hosting. Its simple beautiful when you just dump the required pages or files for the website in S3 and follow the process of hosting that completes in 10 - 20 minutes. You can enjoy I website with the same experience that you get in the local server.

Also the storage for database, the hosting, the file storage bucket, the assistant and what not everything needed for the website is there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
