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.

"Event Driven, Cloud Serverless Function"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS is event driven function and provides easy integration with AWS cloud or on-premise services and is pretty cost-effective, almost $0.20/Million. This can handle thousands of concurrent requests and is a great solution where business demands elasticity and unpredictable computation need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Running serverless infrastructure is a costly business and AWS does impose some limitations, however, few of those can be extended/relaxed with a request. Debugging could be challenging but if engs follow good practices and are ware of clean code architecture, I don't see any noticeable issues with it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

AWS Lambda are very easy to set up and deploy without any server dependencies and on-premises environment. This helps for event based trigger activties and easy to activate and deactivate them based on our usage and is highly cost effectiveness. This also helps in monitoring and managing administration activities as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

One must have a good knowledge to decide and configure lambda based on oru requirements hence this seems little complicated and time consuming in configuring the lambda on place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Can’t think of going back to server based approach"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

We have been using lambda for authentication challenges and multiple customizations where the normal approach couldn't work lambda takes care of that. Without lambdas, a lot of automation will be not possible Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The point I would like AWS to take care of is to increase the timeout as 15 mins sometimes is too less and for faster transactions in lambda sometime API Gateway, 29 seconds become a big blocker. Else everything is awesome and lambda is getting features that we are testing for our project Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Aws Lamda Best Serverless platform"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Aws Lamba is very easy to set up and you can test lambda functions locally with serverless is a good add-on. Deployment is also really easy. It is extremely reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

I found the documentation to be a bit confusing, I had to learn about it from other resources. How the prices are calculated is also complex in my opinion. It could have been more simpler for beginners to understand it easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
