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.

"Exceptional serverless choice"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Lambda is completely serverless so I dont have to provision any infrastructure like EC2 to run my code. Lambda also supports python, which I use a lot at work. Not to mention, its extremely cheap to run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

You need to adjust the memory to avoid getting timeouts. If you have a huge load, it can get expensive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Serverless Computing with AWS Lambda"

4/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I really appreciate how AWS Lambda allows me to run code without the hassle of managing servers. It's quick, scales easily, and significantly reduces the time I spend on setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The cold start delays can be quite frustrating, and troubleshooting more complex functions is not always simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

AWS Lambda eliminates the need to manage servers and scale infrastructure manually. Personally, this allows me to concentrate on writing code, while AWS takes care of scaling, availability, and maintenance behind the scenes. This not only saves me time but also reduces the stress of handling operational tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Integration with Node.js, but Limited Scalability for Constant Workloads"

4.5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Hassle free setup, Easy integration with my Node.js code using AWS SDK and various deployment ways like SAM and Serverless framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Not that scalable in case you are looking for a constant workload like a API server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Scalability and Pay-As-You-Go Serverless Computing."

4.5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda is a game-changer for developers building scalable applications without worrying about infrastructure. The event-driven architecture makes it easy to run code in response to triggers from S3, API Gateway, DynamoDB, or custom events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

While Lambda is powerful, there are a few limitations to be aware of Cold start latency can affect user-facing performance, especially with non-Node.js/Python runtimes and the timeout limit (15 minutes) may restrict long-running jobs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

AWS Lambda solves the problem of managing and provisioning servers for running backend code. Traditionally, we had to maintain dedicated servers or containers running 24/7—even for tasks that only needed to run occasionally. This led to high operational costs and unnecessary infrastructure overhead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Deployment and Multi-Language Support, but Limited by 15-Minute Timeout"

4.5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda is a great service, and what I like most is its support for multiple programming languages. Deployment is also very straightforward, which makes it even more convenient to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The maximum allowed timeout is 15 minutes, which means it's only suitable for working with small datasets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
