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.

"Awesome serverless computing service"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS lambda is serverless computing service which automatically triggered whenever the request comes or triggered.

It is very easy to configure and it supports multiple programming languages. It is cost effective way of hosting microservices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

It is hard to debug logs, configuration of AWS lambda is difficult for the beginners.

It have limited plugins.

Sometimes it take more time execute the process. It would be good if AWS handles the cold start internally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Tech For the Future - The best alternative for resource-heavy operations"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The concept of Serverless itself is something that intrigues me a lot. So when I was working on breaking our monolith executer servers into more flexible and agile microservices architecture, I chanced upon this wonderful concept. And AWS Lambda has helped us to scale limitlessly. By using AWS serverless functions, we could -

- serve maximum concurrent requests

- process high-performance tasks on the server without being afraid of any failure or the whole server down

- make our scaling streamlined; The previous architecture was forcing us to do vertical scaling which was very costly. Switching to Lambda architecture made costing as on-demand and not a recurring one. Thus we have saved a lot of budget without compromising on the performance.

- made our operarations faster as those are running on individual lambda resources, they have become much faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Honestly speaking, I'm delighted with AWS Lambda's services. There are no major issues with the platform, though I felt the learning curve could have been less stiff, and being a AWS product obviously the documentation is bit long and needs some proper navigation. Another thing is it's relatively new architecture so the community is still growing and there are some issues which might need long hunting for solutions. Other than those I cant really think of any other issue as such and these issues aren't any showstopper, they are there with almost all the tech frameworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Automation at it's best..!!"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

This tool from AWS is the best automation tool for different services of AWS. It is serverless so execution is a speedy process using the Lambda function. The required results are consistent as there is no dependency of humans to change the flow and so provides good performance at any given scale. If using the services manually - It takes more time than the optimized code written for a simple flow so helps with less time consumption. Cost is low compared to other tools for optimizing the services. It helps to monitor the services easily. Integrations also play a vital role and are easy for the beginners too to integrate the lambda with S3 and SNS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

It's hard to import the required libraries in the lambda. Templates are less and are required more. Cold-start needs to be looked at. Otherwise, it will be a complete software to rely on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best FaaS in the world of cloud services"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I have been utilizing almost all the features of Lamda. I would highlight a few of them as my favorite. those are the significant performance when it comes to a cold start, a wide range of language support, auto scalability & provisioned concurrency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

I prefer to go with serverless Lambda in most of the use cases as it's highly scalable and efficient. But in a few of the areas, Lambda started losing the trade such as high compute-intensive tasks which might overkill the timeout, multiple database connections, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Way to Have Simple Serverless Code Running"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The connection from SQS or SNS -> Lambda Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The fact that you pay so much for a background listener, features have taken a long time to implement. Microsoft .Net support has been kinda poor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best serverless micro service provider out there."
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I never thought we could build backend services without setting up a server & spinning instances. The serverless AWS Lambda is a boon for startups. No infrastructure headache.

Also, integrating AWS Lambda with other AWS services is damn easy. We have integrated AWS Lambda with AWS DynamoDB, Cognito, SNS, API Gateway, Cloud Search, Cloud Watch, Google Firebase, Twilio, SwaggerHub & Stripe. It helps you get to the market fast & very easy to test it.

AWS Lambda supports writing functions using many languages Java, PHP, Python, nodeJS, Go, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

One thing I dislike about AWS Lambda is they keep upgrading language versions & prompt us to upgrade the Version, especially nodeJS versions. If there is a simple & automated way to upgrade the version, it would be really helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best Serverless Application landscapes"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Reduced Cost of Execution is one of the biggest strength of AWS Lambda function.

The first million requests per month are free of charge

You pay for the computing cost only.

Scaling of instance is not a concern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

You don't have control over environment.Lambda uses AMIs which in turn use industry-standard tools and don't allow you to custom install packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
