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.

"Create software files."
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

For me Amazon Lambda is excellent, with easy code to test, very easy to configure, which gives me the opportunity to write codes in several languages, very simple to learn and you only pay for the time that is consumed since there is no charge while code is not running Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

I found testing somewhat difficult at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS Lamda review"

Error logs can be improved and need flexible pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Plan trigger provider and back-end task implementation Service"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I can divide the backend request into processes with AWS Lambda, which could be installed and housed as individual divisions of their own scale. Maintenance is much easier because the use of a lambda architecture is easy to insulate and fix without influencing both other items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Interconnection and connectivity between various Lambda functions and some other services can become much more intertwined with the growth of the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS Lambda review"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Do not lie, and use AWS lambda of how you use. This helps you to pay for just computing time and instantly executes the code from the smartphone or web program. AWS Lambder wants to take care with all you need to execute the machine and scale up your application with data access, which helps developers to easily scale up to users' experience, rather than tuning and reformatting systems It is more sensitive to device changes that notify data shift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The language functionality of AWS Lambda is very small. The method of repairing is really complex. With the progress of the scale, this service becomes very expensive. Awareness of the user interface of AWS Lambda will help to restore it. It is just not impractical, and that does not give a dignified image of the value of the service performance. That is a confounding method and misuse is very simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great usage of AWS Lambda"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Accurate schedule execution without fail a single time.

Different types of schedule expression that help us to execute exact time, that may be every year, month, day, hour, minutes, second.

rate and cron two types of functions that help us as per our requirements.

Server less architecture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Once we create lambda function in AWS service, we can not change name of that function.

So we have to delete it and re-create it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS Lambda Reviews"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

What I like the best is that, instead of maintaining a server for all our backend needs & features, we can deploy our backend API's as a microservice, & can manage them from the AWS Dashboard, without any hassle, & along with all this, solves the problem of server maintainence.

Also, we don't have to manage a server on our own, & even have our own server for it, AWS solves that problem for us, by creating a MicroService of an API for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

What I dislike is the Lambda Obstacles, as when we sometimes try to deploy or act upon the Lambda API's from other sources or other origins, we are unable to do that.

Also, we are unable to Deploy the API's anywhere, other than our S3 Bucket Deploy, & so, even while we would like to stop using S3 Services, & move with our own Service, we would have to create the APi's from scratch itself, making it a huge problem & a task to be handled.

"Service for scheduled triggers and backend task executions"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda is great for running code snippets in background which will automatically scale your code, you don't need to manage servers. we used it to triggers code in backgrounds like sending emails to groups, running scheduled task to generate reports and files.

If you have data to process in background or event real time without considering processing power or servers, this is best suited environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Sometimes it gets complex when you have multiple lambda services running and trying to process same data, you need robust architecture of application to manage this.

You don't have a control over resources you are using for lambda. you cant install packages on servers which you need to process data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
