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.

"Lambda Server less AWS Managed Service"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

We can use with most of the programming languages.

Lambda's pricing can be very cost effective given that users are only charged for the time the function runs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Lambda's cold starts can be performance issue, especially if you're developing a customer-facing application that needs to operate in real time. Some solutions are there which we can use to resolve this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

All AWS services are easy to handle/ use but testing of AWS Lambda is quite tricky at the beginning same name of functions is not feasible, overall it is good.So hoping for some improvements around that only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Automated & Serverless Computing Resource Architecture-Lambda by Amazon"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The first thing I like about the tool is we can run code without setting up servers, i.e., having serverless architecture. It can support many languages like java, python, etc. It dramatically reduces your old infrastructure cost & complexity in operations. It's a run-on pay-as-you-go model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

As mentioned earlier tool supports serverless architecture, so having all the limitations as that of serverless architecture. AWS lambda is not persistent. The applications developed using the tool are short-lived. The size of the package is limited to 50MB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Run code without managing server"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Using AWS lambda we can run our code without provision and managing the servers. We have to just upload or write our code and trigger the lambda, rest AWS will handle Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

AWS lambda timeout after 15 minutes

So it is not suitable for long running processes. Also we can't use web sockets with AWS lambda. Aww lambda has also a cold start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cheaper computation, better integration with Lambda"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

We liked the fact that we don't have to spin up and setup server instances on our backend. AWS Lamda not only lets us run our automation python scripts but we don't have to pay for a constantly running instance. The integration with API and DB AWS services is super easy to use too Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

While there aren't many downsides, it is a different system than a regular server instance. Not everything is intuitive, and you need to learn how this system works compared to a traditional server instance one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
