"A serverless computing platform"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

We use this for the Modernization of our applications for better performance. Because lambda runs our code on demand without any dedicated servers. This have lot of options for developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

As lambda functions work with the limitation of 1.5 GB memory sum times it is difficult to manage if they provide scalable option on this function that will be very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Ultimate Serverless Computing Solution for Event-Driven Applications"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The serverless architecture can save time and resources, as developers can focus on writing code instead of setting up and maintaining servers. Additionally, AWS Lambda offers a pay-per-use pricing model, meaning you only pay for the amount of resources you consume. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The main problem with Lambda is debugging and testing functions can be challenging, as they are often tightly integrated with other AWS services and may require complex configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Product review for AWS Lambda"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

- AWS Lambda is a highly scalable and flexible serverless computing platform.

- It allows you to run your code without worrying about server management and administration.

- It offers automatic scaling, so you can accommodate any changes in demand without any manual intervention.

- It provides a cost-effective solution, as you only pay for the compute time that you consume.

- It integrates well with other AWS services and can be triggered by them or called directly from web/mobile apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

- The cold start time, or the time it takes for the first instance of your code to start running, can be longer than expected, which could impact performance in certain use cases.

- There are still some limitations in terms of runtime support and available resources, which could restrict the types of applications that can be run on Lambda. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Serverless processing using AWS lamba"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Lambda does not only offer scalability in terms of memory and processing power but also has various integrations available across aws environment meaning it can invoked from AWS s3, AWS stepfunction ,AWS sqs ,AWS eventbridge. Sdk flexibility of most common used languages makes it ideal to creat a quick custom script and schedule it on the to not worth about anything else Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

There are minor drwabacks like libraries needs to be imported using lambda layers or it has a cold start at times of the invocation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The core of a AWS based Serverless Application"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lamda is a great service for every kind of serverless application.

It will becaome the core of your serverless architecture processes.

It's flexibility is the main pro. You can use it anywere: create APIs connecting it with API Gateway, use it to elaborate records and messages in an event-based architecture or schedule it to trigger processes in different times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Using AWS Lambda in you application can have drawabacks relating to pricing and performance if used in bad way.

If you plan to have milions of API calls you should consider it's cold-start timeing or the cost for each concurrent trigger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Focus on the code not the infrastructure for tasks ranging from simple jobs to full web servers"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Because Lambda is serverless technology, it allows you to focus on the code and logic of your application, without having to worry about maintaining a server. It is remarkably affordable, with the first million monthly invocations free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The biggest downside of Lambda is the cold start time. Your code runs in a container and has to be loaded onto a server before it can run. This can take several hundred milliseconds and impacts performance for the calls that suffer from needing to load the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS Lambda: Serverless Computing Made Easy"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The ease of use and flexibility provided by AWS Lambda is super amazing. Also, we don't need to worry about managing servers or infra, which allows focusing on writing code and developing applications.

Also, It can be integrated with other AWS services, such as Amazon S3 very easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

It may not be the best choice for all use cases and developers should carefully consider their specific needs and requirements before choosing to use AWS Lambda.

Not all applications can easily be migrated to AWS Lambda. If we are migrating our legacy code base to serverless, there will be a lot of changes in architecture that need to be taken care of. Also, AWS Lambda doesn't support all the programming languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
