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

I am a big fan of Amazon and AWS to the extend of me buying books on Amazonian ways of working and I am AWS certified.

What I like is that Lamda is fully managed by AWS. I don't have to worry about updating the underlying machines, network connection as AWS do that. Tasks are automated so Lambda is great for scheduled jobs that perform cleansup or process data from online forms on a website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

I was the kid who took clocks apart as I like to see how things are made. AWS Lambda does not allow you to see how the system operates, which annoys me. It does let me to have less time on operational task time, which is good as I can spend more time on application code.

One other negative is when the applicaiton load increases costs increase proportionately, so costs can and do end up costing more than similar cloud services usch as EC2. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My Review"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I think AWS Lambda is simply the best in the industry regarding event-driven serverless computing platforms. I am amazed by the very well constructed background architecture that allows uninterrupted detection of an event (let's say file landing on the server) and the respective subsequent processing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Many organizations tend to refrain from it because they feel that the operational cost for AWS Lambda is a bit on the higher side. They can work on the cost effectiveness issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best serverless platform"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Lambda allows you to quickly spin up a function as a service without worrying about deployments, scaling, etc. It supports multiple runtime environments, including the latest versions of nodejs and python. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

One has to be conscient about costs while using Lambda. As the pricing is calculated on the number of function executions, if the function or the trigger is not configured correctly, the costs can balloon up quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
