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.

"Lambda is simple, cost effective and powerful."

4/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Lambda was beyond simple to setup. Using it in conjunction with AWS API Gateway and RDS services is actually simple to setup and leaves endless possibilities. Lambda connects directly with the Gateway allowing for quick connection between the two services and Lambda handles the rest from there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The management interface can be a little quirky from time to time, however it's nothing that is not easily handled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS Lambda:

If you have any need for serverless processing, Lambda is without a doubt the direction I would recommend. Coupled with the rest of the AWS platform, the possibilities for APIs and other services is nearly endless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Using Lambda in conjunction with AWS API Gateway and RDS we are in the process of building our own API. So no matter what platform we end up on, all we have to do is write a new connection for that platform and our back end will always remain the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for serverless computing"

4.5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The interactive editing of deployed code, though it's limited, it's good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Libraries are also involved in interactive editing. It'll be good if there is global management for libraries. Say for nodejs, we use lot of libraries which makes package size more and can't be used for inline editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and powerful"

4/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Love integrating this with API Gateway - makes an API-based solution super quick to develop. Integrated AWS IAM security makes security simple and powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Would like to see more integration with development toolkits. Using the Web-UI is clunky. I think dev toolkits exist, but am not aware of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
