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?

Ease of use. Just get in there and write Python, Node.js, .Net, Ruby, etc runtimes and get them running without any worry about infrastructure to run it on. Lambda is super-easy to use for almost any developer. Lambda can fire at very fast iterations one after another... it takes a lot to choke it! It also integrates so well with the entire AWS world of services, but also allows you to access external sources as well. Billing is also at a MICROSECOND level... so it truly is "pay for what you us" model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Max runtime is only 15 mins for a job. If you are efficient though this typically is not a problem. Also, memory is limited, but at 10 GB limity, if you are using memory intensive workloads higher than that, you should probably be using something beefier to process your jobs anyway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Speedy development of processes without worrying about underlying infrastructure. Also super helpful for "fail-fast" development practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda is a gem in Amazon's cloud computing services, providing developers with an innovative way of serverless computing. Through AWS Lambda, I have experienced tremendous convenience in the development process and truly realized the concept of code as infrastructure.

The biggest advantage of AWS Lambda is its serverless architecture. Developers don't need to worry about server management, expansion, and maintenance, just focus on writing code. This simplifies the entire development cycle and improves development efficiency. For small projects or experimental tasks, serverless computing is an ideal solution.

Lambda provides a flexible event driven model that integrates with other AWS services, allowing developers to easily respond to various events. Whether it's changes in object storage, database updates, or triggering scheduled tasks, Lambda can easily handle them. This loosely coupled design makes the system more elastic and easy to expand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda has a cold start delay, which may result in longer startup times when the code is restarted after being unused for a long time. For real-time applications that require quick response, this may be a challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

AWS Lambda represents a significant leap in the concept of serverless architecture. By fully entrusting the code runtime environment to AWS management, developers can focus on writing business logic without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. This makes building and deploying applications easier, greatly reducing maintenance costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

AWS is the one of the Top rated cloud service, what I like the most very affordable and pay as you go, which for a business, it's really important to manage server And it's so efficient and very fast words, permissions and other services like lambda cloud front. All the services are so quick and efficient. It makes our business so easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

Well, what I don't like about AWS cloud as its interface because sometimes it's quite confusing, and sometimes I even get misleading pages, even though I used AWS for many times still sometimes it's interface is quite confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The benefit of using AWS is its customer care and customer support they are quick and easy to understand our issues, and even when I was transferring my cloud to from contabo to aws, they seamlessly moved every data which is required for my business to continue to run. And it happen also quickly, and I don't have to loss. They help me to managing my data very efficiently and and also providing as the very fast services from them, and also they are helping by making the plans so affordable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS lambda is a service in where we can test codes and deploy them as a functions to execute them in our day to day automated tasks. It also provides flexibility to writes codes into yaml and json format. It also saves cost while deploying the automated tasks through lambda functions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Well there is a pros into lambda similarly there are cons as well. Sometimes it's not well optimised enough through which the code which has been deployed take much more amount of time which disabled the lack of optimisation of the production task. Also, we have to maintain all the codes which are deployed as a function manually which is not suggested by trust advisory. Hence, the lambda function is useful while using the automated tasks which takes short time but while executing for long time taken tasks, i will go with AWS Cloud formation over it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is very helpful in web develpment and we can deploy the webpages easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service which means we don't have to configure server in order to run it, being a front end developer i use lambda to add small functionalities and have created around 5 Lambda functions for my application, It is quite easy to implement and highly cost efficient as we only have to pay for the compute time, thoughout our application we are using it for multiple purpose like uploading images to s3, pushing toast messages for application update and adding sms otp services for authentication. It can easily be integrated with SNS to add push notification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Though it has many advantages as compare to other computing servies like ec2 as it's serverless and cost saving but before implementing it, we should always consider factors like its compute duration and it's frequency of use as AWS charges for the compute time only, So high frequency use can increase the bill meaning it's important to consider usecase before implementing it using lambda. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Their are situations when we want to run a set of code for a perticular duration of time so we don't need to hold a server instence for the complete time, this is where lambda plays important role by helpting in providing serverless compute power where user only needs to pay for the run time which makes it the best options to run small chunks of code. It's helping us to call OTP service for authentication on login button click and also used for uploading user profile image as an s3 object. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
