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.

"As a developer, best tool to run your code"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Supports wide range of languages. I mostly code in python. The best thing about lambda is that it is very quickly with the results. Computational power at the given price is excellent. Love that first million requests are free Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Connection time out time is limited to 15 min. For longer running workload this is an issue.also function takes longer time to launch than expected.GUI in azure functions is better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Using Lambdas as Microservices"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The AWS Lambdas service is an excellent option to execute code without the need for a server, it is cross-platform, it works with several programming languages, it is scalable, it can be integrated with many AWS services through events. Lambdas are essentially a microservice-oriented technology, and together with the API Gateway service they can be orchestrated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

I have not had a bad experience with the AWS Lambda service, on the contrary it has gone very well for me Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Light weight function to do any heavy task"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

It's a serverless service, you just need to write your code and deploy it all infrastructure will be handled internally.

The best feature I like of AWS lambda is it's event driven compute, we have used this with AWS S3 and Amazon API gateway to perform the taks and that was very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

There is nothing as such to dislike, it provides all the services which is required to develop a cloud project.

Just one thing I feel that can be improved is the documentation to configure this, so it will be easy for a new user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Robust service for versatile use"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The very nature of Lambda function that it runs as a managed service and its native integration with multiple AWS services presents it as a powerful tool that can be used in multiple scenarios. The Lambda function can be used to create REST services as well as to create event driven systems. They can also be used for small computations between two systems.

The service offers a variety of languages to choose from as well as a variety of computation options where I can choose the memory size and reserve some ready instances based on my need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

First point that seems to be a drawback is the limitation on the size of code that can be put into lambda functions. Second point is the maximum timeout of 15 minutes which makes it impossible to use lambda function for long running jobs. Third point is non availability of a considerable local space for file operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A cost-saving solution for code snippets"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The most useful part of this functionality is the pay-as-you-go service. It saves an ample amount of money for the business and also for individuals. Also, multiple other services can be integrated with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

There are no downsides of Lambda as such except for the complex procedure when the deployments are to be done via a programmatic approach compared to the console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Developer friendly Serverless service"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Lambda is easy to learn and use. It is very efficient in a serverless environment and it reduces the cost of execution. It only bills for the time that we make use of it. No need to worry about scaling the server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Less control on the lambda environment. A lambda function can have only 256 MB of size including all the files, packages and dependencies. It will be difficult to host a service that requires large dependency packages. Also, there is an issue with a cold start, that is, when the lambda is idle for a long time and we request the service, the latency will be high. It requires lambda some time to start from a cold state. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"If you want to go Serverless, AW Lambda Functions for you"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Recently AWS Lambda launched the tmp storage of 10GB, that's great. The best thing about the AWS Lambda function is it scalable and you can use it on demand. You can have multiple run times in it. Deployment to serverless lambda is quite easy for me. AWS provider multiple integration of lambda function with other services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda sometimes doesn't let me update the code in IDE. So I have to manually update the zip file from the S3 bucket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Event driven serverless computing service provided by AWS"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I have been using AWS lambda for quite sometime, the main advantage is the fact that you need not think about the underlying infrastructure requirement for you functions. Its the best way to run scheduled jobs, alert driven automation etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

There is no big cons in my usage, but aws lambda had hardware limitations. The disk space can only be 512 mb and memory is 3 gb.. also execution time can be max 15 mins only. These can be improved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
