"I use this service often in my projects. Simple, affordable, scalable"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS lambda is super helpful in POC and mid-level type projects. Initially, you don't want to bother scaling the application and worrying about the cost when you build projects. It's a serverless service, so the cloud provider manages everything. Just write the code and run the function. Different ways can trigger the function, and I have used API gateway.

I have triggered and run the lambda function thousands of times, but it didn't bill me even 1$. It's this much affordable.

By far my best service from the last three years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Function timeout is 15 minutes, and this disappoints me often.

So it's not for the task that can take more than 15 minutes to complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Serverless at scale with ease"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I think the best thing about AWS Lambda is the ease, and speed at which you can develop new applications, scripts, and tools. Using AWS CLI and AWS Sam CLI you can deploy an app at hyperspeed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Pricing of AWS Lambda can get slightly confusing and concerning if you are a low budget personal developer or a smaller company. I think being able to set a budget would help cover this sort of downfall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Serverless functions - AWS lambda"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

One can easily create serverless functions, which can be triggered on any of the event of any AWS service. E.g. we can create API's via aws lambda which can be called on any event being processed in API Gateway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
