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.

"Go Serverless in minutes !!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The simplicity and ability to write code in any language is the specialty. You have a piece of code in any language (Node, Python, Ruby, Java, GLang etc.), AWS Lambda got you. Deploying a lambda is so smooth with a CI/CD platform setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

One thing that I dislike about Lambda is the timeout of 15 minutes. Sometimes, this can be a headache when you have a process that can run more than 15 minutes; the lambda stops the execution. You have to find a way to use Step Functions or another alternative to split up your process to run less than 15 minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Lambda solving and how is that benefiting you?

Most of my AWS Lambda implementations are side-kick projects that revolve around parsing, scraping, independent processes that don't interfere with the main project but enhances more functionality to them on a need basis. I have used the AWS Lambda with the combination of triggers like S3, SQS, Event Bridge Cron events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

It's easy to use and has straightforward containerization where you can add any code which needs to run asynchronously. It has a very generous costing model which can handle millions of requests at just a fraction of the cost.

It's auto-scalable and can serve concurrent requests. It can integrate with a host of AWS services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has some limitations concerning input size and output size of the payload, which is limited to 6MB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
