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.

"One stop solution to data segregation and wrangling"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda provides data management with simple codes and is super cost-effective as it only charges for code run and no servers are required. It eventually improves efficiency and is cost-effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda is super cost-efficient in certain ways but the maximum code run time is 15 minutes and it is super challenging for long-running workloads. Also, payloads for each invocation is limited to 6MB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great option for Server less Computing!"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The best part is using Lambda was not setting it up as a server, installing all our files, and then running the code in a sandbox environment. It becomes so easy to set it up and also use inbuilt services with AWS. Lambda can be scaled up easily, and it's low in price. The tight integration with CloudWatch helps track requests in real-time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The only drawback is the amount of documentation which is available. It's hard to find your issues while going through the documentation. Also, setting up Lambda is not easy; initially needs to take help from the support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My Experience"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

We use AWS Lamba to support our serverless infrastructure using K8 cron jobs on the periodic platform which optimized our server cost by up to 25%, rather than having to run one server for each function and increase the server load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The version control can present a problem because it's hard to find the specific software versions of Node and Golang, which are also a bit more pricey than a third party system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS Cloud Review"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS is one of the best Cloud providers out there in the market. It is helping many small businesses out there to achieve the development of highly scalable products via the many services offered at an affordable price. I like their documentation very much as it's the most detailed documentation I have ever seen and it's pretty self-explainatory. Apart from this their pricing is very competitive as compared to other cloud players in the market. They also provide free Credits which can be consumed on some of their cloud resources for new learners to cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Plan your development before using their services otherwise that affordable price will overshoot your monthly budgets within no time, one of the reason can be improper handling of lambda function failures resulting in repetitive invocation of the same.

Charging extra money for technical support is also something not liked by many users and companies starting at an initial level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My Experience"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

We use Lamba to run serverless functions by creating a reaction-based hook that triggers specific written procedures, which makes helm values in Lamba great to use and saves on a lot of costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The cost of triggering one function per cycle is a lot more than other services and can be written using fully custom code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Lambdas can be configured to set up log ingestion in S3 buckets and deliver the logs to a centralized logging server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Lambdas are not capable of handling large workloads. Additionally, lambdas cannot handle beyond 1000 concurrent requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS Lambda - Best Function-as-a-service in Market"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I have been using AWS Lamda for a long time The best capabilities I liked about it are:

1) I don't need to create or manage new servers for my deployment or small capabilities

2) The environment setup load is now negligible, and I can focus on my code and not waste my time on the environment

3) As AWS is a pay-as-you-go model, I don't have to waste my time on the pricing, and minimized for us as well as my client

4) One of the best things is the easy integration of mass mailing using AWS lambda and SES in my project Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Some of the problems that I faced with AWS Lambda are:

1) Timeout options: Sometimes the job that I give in Lambda requires more run time but the jobs get timeout due to Lambda restrictions after 5-7 minutes

2) The logs and monitor of the jobs in Lambda gets a little complicated and sometimes the real issue doesn't get caught easily Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
