"AWS Lambda a powerful scalable and flexible service"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I've been using AWS Lambda extensively for handling API Gateway authentication it works for my custom auth via application and in other scenarios sending emails via SES it was very easy to implement and also the custom logging solutions. As i used other AWS services such as SES , API Gateway all the integration was very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Sometimes the IAM auth can be little tricky while implementing other service as there can be some specific permission that are required to make it work. Logging can be little tricking as the logs are sent to cloudwatch and locating something little can be a hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great serverless compute services"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

This tool is perfect because it relieves the burden and makes it easier to run the code without supervision and managing services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

When you call a Lambda function for the first time after a while of not using it, it may take longer to run because AWS has to set up the execution environment. These delays can make the user experience less joyful for apps that need low latency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Deployment, But Limited for Heavy or Long-Running Tasks"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Users appreciate Lambda's straightforward configuration, enabling quick deployment of applications without the need to manage servers. Many reviewers highlight its intuitive interface, especially for those familiar with serverless architectures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Lambda imposes restrictions on memory, storage, and payload size, which may not be suitable for large or long-running tasks. Additionally, there's a 15-minute execution time limit, which can be a constraint for certain applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional serverless choice"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Lambda is completely serverless so I dont have to provision any infrastructure like EC2 to run my code. Lambda also supports python, which I use a lot at work. Not to mention, its extremely cheap to run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

You need to adjust the memory to avoid getting timeouts. If you have a huge load, it can get expensive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
