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.

"Perfect FaaS Plateform"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Very simple & easy to use in order to deploy a little piece of code.

Lot of runtime are available :

- Python (2.7... 3.8)

- Node.js (10, 12)

- Java (8, 11)

- Golang (1.x)

- Ruby (2.5, 2.7)

More over, you don't pay when there is no activity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

When deploying a lambda, you have to know what a VPC is. It's a pity to care about network.

More over, you have to take care about cold start : when using heavy runtime, the first request may be long to start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Cheapest Serverless Service on the Cloud is AWS Lambda"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

There are a lot of things best about AWS Lambda. AWS Lambda is a serverless service which means we don't have to worry about server management. Just upload the code and run it. You only pay for what you have executed. The price of the AWS Lambda service is too less. It can be integrated with many other AWS services making it useful for developing micro-services, cron-based or event-based services, REST APIs, etc. We don't have to worry about its high availability or auto scaling as it is a fully managed serverless AWS service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The execution time should be increased as 15 minutes of execution time is sometimes where less. Also, we should get an option to modify the processing power (CPU) separately and not by the memory (RAM). Also, we should get the capability to run as many Lambdas as possible in parallel at a time by making this option selectable at the time of creating the AWS Lambda function so that we don't have to worry about requesting the increase in this soft limit as well as let us know the maximum hard limit for this configuration beforehand.

"Service productive without server"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The best thing about it is simple, just charge as to what you're using and it's open source! Without the need to control the operational service pile, focus purely on the script you have to do. I including how to create code by using the Web or mobile app. It is also always updated to make use of the latest features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

We create less scripting servers that are used to automate our infrastructure. This enables data to be easily parsed and business logic performed and transmitted to the next necessary service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient, Event driven serverless computing platform"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

1. Running my code in a container at a faster pace.

2. I don't need to worry about the infrastructure

3. Hassle free scaling based on business requirements and traffic

4. Consistency in performance while scaling containers

5. Most important- billing is optimised with millisecond usage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

1. Not suitable for high memory consumptive apps as it has large memory footprint is up to ~3000Mb

2. The maximum payload supplied to a function is up to ~6Mb only (request/response) for synchronous calls and 128Kb for asynchronous calls

3. Any deployment package larger than 50Mb is not allowed directly rather need to upload the same to s3 bucket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
