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 example of serverless computing"
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?

If code size is more that 30 mb, Online code editor is not supported.

Need to improve little bit on debugging facility. Resolving issue on lambda by checking Cloudwatch log & uploading new code is a pain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It a very excillent service of aws, really helpful to cost and time consuming."
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I have been working on Lambda for more than 2 years. There was a task assign to me was to create AMI backup for daily bases and delete them after 15 days. I was wondering how to do that in a cost-saving way, then I come to know about Lamda, It really made my day, just execute the code on time. No need to create an instance for a code to run in a specific time, Just create a lambda function. 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.

"Aws Lambda - Lightweight server-less Service"

"Steep Learning Curve But Worth It"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I'm a huge fan of AWS Lambda; specifically that once you understand how it all works, you can offload CPU or RAM intensive workloads from virtual machines over to Lambda, and drastically improve performance. Oh, and did I mention that I have never managed to make it beyond the FREE tier in a given month? So that's pretty amazing value! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Lambda can take a little bit of effort to get up and run the first time around, but after a few deployments, it's pretty simple. Also, keep in mind that AWS is deprecating support for Node v6.X, so you should develop your Lambda functions in 8.X at a minimum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The coldstart can still be a problem and limitations to a set group of languages Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
