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.

"Microservices taken to a whole new level"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

With AWS Lambda I can break down a backend application into functions that can be deployed and hosted as separate units that scale on their own. Maintenance is easier because it is easy to insolate failing using in a lambda architecture and fix it without affecting the other units. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The interconnection and communications between different Lambda functions between themselves and other aws services can get very entangled as the application grows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lambda A solution to change your life"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

being able to run code as a service, we are using Lambda to run some code to back up some other Amazon services using this feature, this is run completely serverless and we aren't paying for any EC2 costs! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

it takes a while to get your head around the lambda feature and all the different adds on you can use, it's a lot for someone who is getting started with lambda to get their head around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Introducing AWS Lambda serverless infrastructure was critical"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Lambda was very simple to set up. It is literally simple to set up in tandem with AWS API Connector and RDS infrastructure, and leaves limitless potential. Lambda links directly to the Gateway providing fast communication between the two systems and from there Lambda manages the rest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

In. Net, the device destroys as the period goes by without having any order, which requires just few seconds to continue. This will become probably time for other users because there are multiple connections between various systems making calls to one another. Alexa's self-hosted abilities use lambda functions internally so you can't see that in any AWS account once you build one. It will be good to see some more thorough errors to handle and catch.

"AWS Lambda - Best Serverless Computing"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda provides serverless computing. It supports multiple languages like C#, Java, Node.js, Python and many more. We can run our codes virtually without the help of servers for any type of applications. What we need is to just upload the code and everything else will be performed automatically plus it is very user friendly. It also encrypts our code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

There is nothing to dislike in AWS Lambda. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for serverless apps by Amazon Web Services."
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda is an outstanding calculating device that authorizes the users to run and achieve their computation codes in a very impressive manner without updating the servers. It boosts the functions by letting the users run through the chosen program strategies and languages. AWS Lambda is a vastly endorsed and rapid working server system existing in the market. It activates the functions in the cloud without any trouble. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda has a very limited language capability. The fixing procedure turns out to be very tricky. This service becomes highly costly with the advancements of scale. The knowledge of the AWS Lambda user interface could help a restoration process. It is not unrealistic but it does not offer any worthy appearance of how important the service outcome is. It is a confusing tool and the misapplication of is pretty simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The server less computing service platform”"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda enables me to run and execute your code for computation regardless of servers and there is no limitation in the programming language I can use whatever favorite language I want to use. It is the rapid server setup and it runs mu functions in the cloud so there is no chance of data loss and its Infrastructure is simple. It updates its version always with new functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda takes time if you get inactive for a while to get back on an active state and it is easy to misuse for many purposes and it is very complex as compared to other alternatives. If you get any bug in your program it will be very problematic to debug your problem. Still it has limited languages to support. It does not support all the languages. It will take a lot of effort and time to learn its platform completely. If you want to upload videos or other heavy files it will take a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Costs Less to be Server Less"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda is the feature that saved a lot of money by going serverless without any management of downtime or idle time management of AWS ec2 instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The console UI should be more intuitive than now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Run code without server"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

You have to pay for a server to run your API even you are not using it. In lambda you don't need to pay for idle-time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Bit difficult to write code using the lambda dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS lambda is growing our investment"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Lambda helps you to run programming with no servers worried. This growing much hassle for the conventional application of architecture. One thing that blows my mind is how AWS Lambda scales up or down internally used servers according to the practical specifications. Therefore, Lambda accelerates growth. This is also very useful for other AWS applications-S3, SNS, CloudWatch and many more-because you can need the AWS SDK in your feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Another thing I would hope from Lambda is a great user interface and a great application IDE. At the other hand, all apps like IntelliJ Idea can not be predicted. Lambda's additional drawback is that it is very difficult to predict and schedule expense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
