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?

AWS Lambda is like a small set of function that can be executed without setting up any server.All you need to do is to write your small server side code, create an api gateway or use any other services like ( S3 Events, SNS, Cloud Watch Events) to trigger your lambda function.

Its That easy to use and implement all you need is your code create a lambda function test it set a trigger and you are good to go.

No need to set up any server on ec2.

Aws Lambda is cost efficent you will only pay on the number of api calls or event triggers and the amout of time your code takes to execute check their documentations for more details on pricing.

Their new feature introduces use of ecr docker images with lambda function. so you can configure a docker image and use it as aws lambda function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

There are only Limited things you can do with aws lambda like

1) You can only execute small server side code, and uncompressed docker images less than 10gb

2) You'll face some latency issue because it take some time to invoke lambda function Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

AWS Lambda services is helping users to create an event based server which requires no server setup Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Serverless Architecture: AWS Lambda allows developers to focus solely on writing code without worrying about server management. This enables faster development cycles and reduces operational overhead.

Scalability: Lambda automatically scales to accommodate incoming requests. It can handle a few requests per day to thousands of requests per second without any manual intervention, making it ideal for applications with unpredictable traffic patterns.

Cost Efficiency: With Lambda, you only pay for the compute time consumed by your code, measured in milliseconds. This pay-per-use model can result in significant cost savings, especially for sporadically used or low-traffic applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Cold Start Latency: When a Lambda function is invoked for the first time or after a period of inactivity, there may be a noticeable delay due to cold start latency. This latency can impact the responsiveness of applications with strict latency requirements.

Execution Time Limit: Lambda functions have a maximum execution time limit of 15 minutes. This constraint may not be suitable for long-running tasks or workflows that exceed this limit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Using it as schedulers as this doesnt need a resources entire day will span around the trigger time and do the scheduling job and shut downs automaticaaly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

It's so simple to work with it, to integrate it within other systems and services. You can start to implement it in a few lines of code and a few minutes.

The rules are simple, understand the way it works and it gives wonderful performance.

So much content about Lambda online and in the AWS community which is very professional and supportive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can find any bad side of Lambda. If I do so, I just realized that it's a case of abuse of Lambda like batch or heavy processing, which doesn't fit lambda by design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
