Review Summary

Generated using AI from real user reviews
Users consistently praise AWS Lambda for its serverless simplicity and automatic scaling, which allows them to focus on writing code without managing infrastructure. The seamless integration with other AWS services enhances development speed and efficiency, making it ideal for event-driven applications. However, many note the 15-minute execution limit and cold start latency as common limitations.

"AWS Lambda - Best Serverless in Cloud"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Aws provides one of the best services in the cloud AWS lambda service. The best part of the serverless function is we can pay for what we use. Lambda provides many user-friendly resources and is easily accessible and we can write lambda code using our favorite language (golang, python). I can easily interact with other aws services API gateway, dynamodb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

There are not many cons in aws lambda, the thing is to need to know about business cases and write your lambda code—the cost wise a little bit high other than all good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hard task made simple with AWS Lambda"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The simplicity, and several options, not only node but also phyton or now PHP. And the cheap, millions of requests with low price. Also is very easy to integrate with other services from AWS, like S3 or RDS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The AMI/images from Phyton's new releases contain lower features than previous ones. That's tricky and needs to build specific variants only to keep working the proved lambda functions. And the IAM roles to access those new images are more complicated than previous ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best AWS Service for Serverless Use case"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Many things I like about the AWS Lambda services are:

- Follows serverless architecture where we can trigger the function based on some actions that happen in another service.

- pricing model is pay as you go.

- you don't have to provision the infrastructure AWS is managing by themselves you just have to focus on code.

- integrate with many services to provide and fulfill the given use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

As the AWS lambda has its own set of methodologies to work with so you might get the learning curve as well the AWS documentation also needs to improve a bit in this case. and the rest all over the Lambda function has no flaws it is the perfect set of serverless tech stack one can adopt.

"Best Serverless Cloud Platform available"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda automatically scales the application in response to incoming request volume, and runs the code without creating or managing servers.

It simply charges for the volume of requests and the compute time used to execute the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

These are some potential limitations of using AWS Lambda, like Cold start, Concurrency and Resource limitations which become problematic for applications that experience abrupt spikes in traffic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS is the best"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda is a great service that lets me focus on the real work at hand. I don't have to worry about setting up servers and managing them, or worrying about whether my code is going to break because I'm using an older version of something or another. The service is always up-to-date, so I know that any issues will be addressed as soon as possible, which makes me feel like I can focus on what's important: making sure my applications are running smoothly and meeting user needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

I dislike that it can be hard to debug when things go wrong. It's also a bit difficult to get started with Lambda because you have to learn how to use AWS CLI, which is not very intuitive for beginners. It's also hard to find out how long your functions take to run, which makes it hard to determine how many resources they're using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very useful when building serverless architectures. Easy to build, deploy, provision and scale. Really cost effective, cannot imagine what many workflows would be without it. Good for prototyping as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Coldstart is definitely a problem. Runtime has some constraints as well like memory and timeouts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
