AWS Lambda Reviews & Product Details

AWS Lambda lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. You pay only for the compute time you consume - there is no charge when your code is not running. With Lambda, you can run code for virtually any type of application or backend service - all with zero administration. Just upload your code and Lambda takes care of everything required to run and scale your code with high availability. You can set up your code to automatically trigger from other AWS services or call it directly from any web or mobile app.

"Awesome Lambda functions"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Lambda functions are helpful for serverless deployments and triggering code execution using different methods. Different types of programming language are supported through the Lambda functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Lambda functions have a maximum execution time limit of 15 mins, and if there are services that require more time than that, we need to add retry mechanisms. That is one of the limitations that I do not like with Lambda functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
