AWS Lambda Reviews & Product Details

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.

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.

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.

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.

Full or Nearly full Nodejs API support. Had no issues running my JS workflows on Lambda. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documentation is a bit daunting for someone new to Lambdas. Lack of sandboxed environments to experiment with is a little difficult too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

AWS Lambda is very scalable and reliable. We have used it for our Salesforce/ServiceMax Application - It was reliable, we were able to pause SQS queues and retry in FIFO when there are maintenance windows as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We were facing some upsert failed errors due to non-sequential inbound payloads Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lambda is great for scalable servers functions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its problem that it only computers for 15 minutes only Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS Lambda's serverless architecture is a game-changer,eliminating the hassle of server management while seamlessly scaling with demand. Its broad language support,integration caoability and pay-per-use pricing make it an efficient and cost-effective solution for modern application development.

One downback of AWS Lambda is the potential for starts, causing latency in function execution.Monitoring and debugging can also be more challenging,and the pay-per-use pricing model may lead to unpredictable costs as applications scala. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of development, implementation and integration wiht AWS resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cold start issue increases latency and certain amount of inconsistency in performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.
