"AWS Lambda is Amazing!"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The best part of this is it's simple, you only have to pay for what you use and it's serverless! No need to manage the entire server stack, just focus on the code that's important to what you need to accomplish. I like how you can use the web or mobile application to create the code. Also it's always updated so you can leverage the latest functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The dashboard / interface is a bit difficult to write code in, there is a limit to how much code can be used in the online editor, and I've noticed some delays in code performance with certain functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Lambda’s GUI can be slightly laggy at times and the error output doesn’t always print all the logs. Luckily you can go to cloud watch to view all these logs however it can be a pain to switch service to service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

* AWS Lambda is very easy to setup & deploy serverless computing platform.

* AWS Lambda supports large variety of language including Node.js, Java, C#, etc.

* After deploying application to Lambda, developer does not need to worry about scaling &

concurrency.

* Cost can be reduced drastically as we do not need to keep server up & running 24x7.

* It is pay per use model, which is great.

* Can be best used for Microservice deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

* There may be something people don't like about Aws lambda like the memory range is limited. But

there is a lot you can do with such range.

* Also for some people code, deployment packages may be a reason for concern due to its limited size

to 50mb only.

* There may be a solution to this limitation soon Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
