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.

"Aws lambda the modern on demand cloud functions"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Lambdas are easily leveraged for data transformation and communication between other aws services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Lambdas are often overused and could be better replaced with a containerized system with EC2. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS Lambda:

Utilize AWS's SAM tooling to get setup with lambda quickly. Learn cloudformation to supplement the limited scopes of SAM and avoid Serverless, a tool built for deploying to AWS, entirely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We were transforming data from kinesis, dynamodb streams, and queues to a standardized format for our new system. Along with that we used API gateway and lambdas to access this new data for consumers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

We like AWS Lambda as serverless services can be used to build for any compute related activities. Especially its support many programming languages like Javascript,java,python etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

May lambda support better integration with GitHub or AWSCodecommit.That can make version management more better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS Lambda - Best Solution for Serverless Computing"

4.5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I like that lambda comes in various languages and how you can trigger a Lambda function based on EventBridge timers or events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Although lambda is available in many languages, they don't have my language of choice, C++. I would use Lambda way more if they did offer C++. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS Lambda:

I highly recommend using this application as it allows you to run code without having to have your own OS or servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I was provisioning my own hardware to run the smallest snippets of code since I needed an always-on computer, and Lambda solved this problem of maintaining my own hardware or operating system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Revolutionising Technology"

4/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

While using AWS Lamda, you have to worry about the code that you write, regardless of the server configuration and its management. Coding became more accessible and fun, and you do not need to worry about the other hassle of installing things on the server and constantly checking the compatibility of software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

For a beginner, it can be overwhelming at first. It gets easier as you tend to use it. Using async calls with Lambda has been a tedious and challenging task. Only the less complex tasks, which do not take significant computation time, can be used with Lambda. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problem of continuous scaling is solved by Lambda, as it automatically solves that problem. So no need to dedicate an engineer's time to scale the server or look into scaling issues, if any.

For the use of Lambda, we do not require purchasing and maintaining servers, so it's cost-effective in that regard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
