AWS Lambda Reviews & Product Details

I like best about AWS Lambda is its serverless nature, which removes the need to manage infrastructure. I can focus purely on writing code while AWS handles scaling, availability, and maintenance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

main drawbacks of AWS Lambda is the cold start latency, which can impact performance for applications that need consistent low response times, especially when functions are not invoked frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve been using AWS Lambda for some time, and what I appreciate most is not having to deal with server management. It simply works, scaling automatically when necessary, and I only pay for the actual runtime of my code. Setting up triggers from S3 or DynamoDB is extremely convenient and saves a significant amount of deployment time. Honestly, it makes developing small applications or microservices much easier, as I can concentrate on writing code rather than handling infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lambda has a maximum timeout of 15 minutes, which makes it unsuitable for long-running tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a great feature to run any application with ease and hassle free. Using this expanding application according to the load is very easy. Implementation of lamda fuction is easy and seamless along multiple integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although all features are great but as customer we have very less control on it as this is completly managed by the aws itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use it to develop scalable, event-driven services without the overhead of managing the infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For latency-sensitive applications cold starts are not optimal and managing permissions feels complex and difficult to handle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about AWS Lambda is how it simplifies development by removing the need to manage servers—just write the function, set the trigger, and it runs when needed. It’s incredibly easy to implement and integrates smoothly with other AWS services like S3, DynamoDB, and API Gateway, which makes building complex workflows feel intuitive. The number of features available is impressive, and I find myself using it frequently for automation and event-driven tasks. Customer support has been generally helpful, especially through documentation and forums, though direct support could be more responsive at times. Overall, Lambda strikes a great balance between ease of use, powerful functionality, and scalability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about AWS Lambda is the cold start latency, especially when using certain runtimes or when functions aren't invoked frequently—it can slow down response times noticeably. Debugging can also be a bit tricky since the environment is abstracted and logs are the main way to trace issues. While integration with other AWS services is strong, it sometimes feels like you're locked into the AWS ecosystem, which can limit flexibility. The limits on execution time and memory can be restrictive for more complex workloads, and managing deployments across multiple environments can get cumbersome without additional tooling. Lastly, while customer support is available, getting timely, hands-on help often requires a premium support plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I just give it my code, and it handles the rest.

It is fast to develop.

Most servers cost money even when they are doing nothing. Lambda is different: if your code runs for two seconds, you only pay for those two seconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It kills the process in a short period of time, like 15 minutes, I think. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS Lambda makes' me feel like i am writing pure logic without worrying about servers, scaling, or infrastructures. I just upload the functions, set the trigger, and it works daily with ease for automation, API endpoints and backend workflows, whether it runs once a day or a million times, the auto scaling and pay as you go model feel incredibly efficient Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A more virtual to trace functions would help Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cheapest and readily available compute whenever required Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

timeout period is very low, 15 minutes only Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

extremely easy to setup and maintain, lots of runtime options, super fast as NodeJS backend for Progressive Web Apps Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

cost at scale requires to carefully configure function specs and concurrency settings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love AWS Lambda for its ease of use, as it allows me to focus solely on writing and deploying my API code without the hassle of managing infrastructure. This feature is incredibly useful for streamlining development and deployment processes, eliminating the traditional need to spin up servers or virtual machines. Additionally, I appreciate the remarkable speed of AWS Lambda compared to traditional API deployments. This efficiency significantly enhances my workflow, making API delivery faster and more reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the pricing for AWS Lambda somewhat high. It would be beneficial if there was a less expensive tier for lower memory usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
