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.

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

The number of frameworks with which functions can be programmed, in addition to the ease of deployment and connections with the rest of the Amazon Web Services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Nothing bad to say about them, perhaps something to improve is the visibility of the logs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good and Reliable FaaS"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda is a very good FaaS (Function As A Service). If you are looking out to build projects on serverless architectures.

This is one of the must have services, it integrates well with AWS API Gateway, and if your software ecosystem is on AWS, you'll find that Lambda comes in handy in many sticky situations as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Keeping lambdas warm is an additional overhead that comes into play when you choose to go for using function as a service.

So keep that in mind while designing serverless architectures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS Lambda best tool for Severless Application"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Aws lambda can be used for making cron jobs for EC2 Lambda. It is best to for using it as a serverless function I have also deployed it on my final year project and it worked great with app sync It supports various languages programming languages. We can also monitor the health and computation power within the AWS lambda as it is connected with the Aws cloudwatch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

When the particular function uses up all the storage it doesn't clear up the previous cache for the function which eventually fills up the lambda function storage and for cleaning it we have to do it manually on our own which is a hectic who is not good in DevOps.

"Powerful but difficult to use and understand"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The power of AWS lambda and the free tier it has are one of the most positive things about this service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

It is really confusing how to setup the lambda for new users. Creating api endpoints and linking them to the lambda takes a lot of time compared to what other cloud providers propose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lambda: The best FaaS Service"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

With AWS Lambda, we can host any piece of code in the AWS cloud without thinking about scaling and management of resources. AWS manages it on its own and we just have to pay for the time function is taking to complete its job. Currently, we are using the Lambda function for monitoring the Web application SSL, Uptime, and for managing the resources being used by other AWS services. This helps us in triggering the resources like EC2 whenever it'd required and shutting down after the task completion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

There's nothing much to dislike about Lambda but I would like to see a better UI in the future, the current UI is outdated and very confusing for beginners. The timeout should be more flexible as compared to the current limit of 15 minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quick and Easy to setup, does all the heavy lifting for you!"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Lambda is a compute service that allows you to direct most operational concerns to AWS and allows you to focus on building your application as a user. It's easy to use, quick to setup and very reliable! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

There's not much I dislike about Lambda, it's simple to setup and hosts your applications very well! The one important factor though is that your application must be designed in such a way that it is stateless or it will not be compatible with Lambda. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS Cloud has a very easy to use UI and provides most of the services for a very competitive pricing"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I like the constantly innovative products that keep coming. Like Kinesis, Streams, AI and ML focussed projects. But my favorite is serverless - Lambda. I like its UI more than its competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

I do not dislike anything about it. The UI just seems like an information overload, however, we cannot complain as they have too many services. If this could be simplified with a more customizable home screen, it would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS Lambda for your web/mobile application"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda is too flexible and can use any programmer with his programing languages ex. java, python, js, and so on. You can use Lambda to combine with many AWS services, I used API gateway for that, and it's very comfortable to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

I dislike the UI part, because for some reason there is no VM for java, and you need to write your code in your machine and then upload it into the AWS lambda part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best In Class"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The best part of using AWS services is that it provides solutions for all your pain points in a single place. AWS Lambda is one of the solutions provided by Amazon. It helps you run your code without even thinking of the Servers. It integrates seamlessly with S3 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

My experience with AWS Lambda has been great so far Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best tool for serverless application"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Supporting many programming languages. Monitoring, alerting and logging are easy to set up and very efficient. Trigger from a variety of events of almost all AWS services allow to produce very complex business logic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Maybe a better integrated IDE to write code directly from the Lambda UI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
