AWS Lambda Reviews & Product Details

Super fast cold start times and large number of languages supported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best deployment method is probably Serverless, which is unofficial. It would be much better if AWS offered a more simple efficient deployment/dev pipeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It a serverless application type

pay when used

it is triggered only when events happen

Very easy to use and implement

can be integrate with other applications

support several coding languages

used daily

The organisation is using it to ingest cloudwatch logs to new relic Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing to really dislike about lambda Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Serverless, less devops involvement. Fast allocation of resorce by this i mean readdly available. And ease of implementation for event based triggers from s3. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times for few cases 15 min execution time is less Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Allows code in several languajes like python, js. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Size limit and timeout, It has a size limit about 500mb to read files and has a 15 min timeout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Scalability: Lambda functions can scale automatically to meet demand, so you don't have to worry about overprovisioning servers.

- Cost-effectiveness: Lambda is a pay-per-use service, so you only pay for the time your functions run. This can help you save money on your cloud computing costs.

- Ease of use: Lambda is easy to use and manage. You can create and deploy Lambda functions in minutes, and you don't have to worry about server administration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main thing I dislike about AWS Lambda is the cold start time. The first time a Lambda function is invoked, it can take a few seconds to start up. This is called a "cold start." Cold starts can be a problem for applications that need to be very responsive, such as real-time applications.

Another thing I dislike about AWS Lambda is the function size limit. Lambda functions are limited to 50MB in size. This can be a problem for applications that need to store a lot of data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS lambda takes care of server management, scaling and de-scaling users need to worry about the infrastructure when using lambda. AWS lambda automatically scales your applications based on the incoming request volume. Lambda follows event-driven model, (lambda can be triggered by various events within AWS ecosystem like changes in S3, changes in DynamoDb records etc). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cold start latency is the major issue in AWS Lambda. When the lambda function is invoked for the first time after a period of inactivity, lambda may experience cold start. This latency impacts response time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you are currently performing different operation manually and you want to perform such repetative operation automatically, so with the combination of lambda, Eventbridge and SNS service you can achieve this. You can basically deploy a code using lambda which will perform particular operation when triggered or run. This will help you to perform reparative operation on particular schedule like start and stop of on demand Ec2 instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If we go toward cons, there is one problem only that if you want to add complex code you must have to have some knowledge of python boto3. Otherwise there are fix code structure that you can get through internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm using AWS lambda for a long time, what I feel about it is that it's serverless in nature, just I've to write code and deploy it, not many worries regarding the operation side.

I mostly use Nodejs as my runtime for building applications on lambda. Also, the Layers part I liked the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So, far nothing to dislike till now, everything in lambda is pretty straightforward, Intially sometimes hard to understand the Cold Starts feature but know a way to tackle it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides a ready-to-run compute cloud service for developers with minimal to medium tasks to perform without worrying about which compute engines and servers to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Editing code in the console gets difficult when the size of the packages being used exceeds some limits. All edits have to be done locally and pushed to AWS via zip files Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
