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.

"Worst Support in industry and talk about sercurity flaws in AWS..."

0/5

What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

They offere verything at overpriced cost we did Elastic Serach hosting 10K a month moved away from aws cost is 800 a month at better perfomance, someone got access to a key at somepoint we rotated but the account kept getting comprosied and missused we raised 30 tickets to AWS no one care and end up us leaving as a billg over 60K came due to this, where as we didn't consume any of the 60K and again aws didn't care at all...

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

If you like to pay 10X more for nothing, get no support or pay for a support that goes in circle go for AWS.... we moved to GCP instead which is 10X better... AWS wonder why people uses it? Burning VC money maybe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Aws lambda functions using node version 20.0"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Easy integration with the SAM template and thus you can update your code install packages and run tests on your local environment. Can have different memory usage, timeout for different lambda's, and separate permissions to other AWS resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

On the AWS console, you cannot install packages easily to a lambda function, and thus you have to create a sample lambda on locally and then zip it and upload it to AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS Lambda"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

the best serverless functionality of Amazon.Really it made production easy , fast and also economical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

I guess it has no such cons . But if I have to say something it could be the number of environment they provide i.e. can go to more languages and versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Serverless computing with pay as you go pricing."

4.5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda provides serverless computing option meaning we don't have to manage or configure server, as a full stack developer lambda is quite usefull service for me, we are using lambda for OTP generation service and also for downloading encrypted file from s3 on click of a button. It's quite easy to setup and we only have to pay for the compute time used by lambda function. Can easily be integrated with many other aws services like s3 and aws SQS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

While it offer affordable pricing for compute service but can be an expensive option depending upon usecase, If you're lambda function with run frequently then it can be a expensive option over ec2. So before creating a lambda know your usecase and it's pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

AWS Lambda provide serverless compute option where user does'nt have to maintain a server and it's configration and it can embed a function within it which will be triggered each time lambda is called and the best part is we only have to pay for the runtime of lambda function. In my project my team is using Lmabda function to generate OTP for authentication and also using it for uploading and downloading encypted files from s3 which as saved as an object to s3.

"AWS lambda serverless is the cost saving option"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS lambda has consumption plan that will save your cost and not only that I am using it to serve my back end of the application and the price and the free tier is such an amazing option that will save alot of money.

It's fast, reliable, scalable and easy to use with nodejs, Python or go etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Cold start is something may be one of the cons using the aws lambda but apart from that everything is pretty awesome.

Also the microservice architecture I've deployed is quick and lastly deployed so it is good to use lambda server less. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"integrating AWS Lambda with Coralogix has elevated our log management and analysis capabilities."

4/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda provides several advantages that make it a popular choice for serverless computing.

AWS Lambda follows a serverless architecture, allowing developers to focus solely on writing code without the need to provision or manage servers. This abstraction of infrastructure details simplifies the development process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

One significant drawback is the potential for cold starts, where the initial execution of a function may experience higher latency. This occurs when a new instance of a function is created or when it hasn't been invoked for a while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
