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.

"Reliable and much useful tool. "
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Can configure any application by using lambda functions which easy to imitate and can be used from anywhere.It is much scalable tool used so far and best is that you don't have to manage servers. Apart from all these I like that I can easily integrate my node.js code into it and get it deployed in seconds Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Sometimes when you are learning this tool then it becomes complicated due to some UI. But I think when you get used to it then it is very great tool. I also think that pricing is a bit expensive compared to google. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Serverless Power for Fast Paced Development"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The power and flexibility to utilize lambdas to do pretty much anything you need. We use it for a few different startup firms we support for business critical and non critical systems. It is imperative that our systems are not only cost effective but fast to get implemented and easy to modify if needed. This was the huge win in our book on why we went with AWS Lambda as a solution for many projects even though other options might be more cost effective it always ended up on top and surpassing competitors in the serverless space. Our main implementation of ETL work was in need of cost optimizing and flexibility for new systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

There are some compatibility issues when deploying to lambda with certain python libraries and environments but there are other services out there that help simplify that (so drawback that that may be necessary) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable and efficient service"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I like it AWS Lambda beacuse it allows us to execute segments of our computational code that don't require actual virtual machines hosted on compute engines. This allows save time and us to achieve very low costs for simple pieces of code that can be run quickly a large number of times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The price is a little more expensive if we compare it with other services that provide execution services of the lambda function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SynerComm Serverless Solutions"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The enviroment and the flexibility the serverless controlls allow me to deploy the code. The way it only runs when need is great from a managed service model where customers are only charged withwhat they use and then a partner can roll that into a payment plan for thier service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Until recently the lack of some languagaes for our developers specifically the ones who would like to code in unsupported or obscure langauges. THe other issue I was having is understanding the security concerning and around the platform . Howevere by attending AWS i have now learned the controls to be able to put in place.

"AWS lambda makes our cost savings grow"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I enjoy the massive boost our savings has occurred over the course of using this technology. We have setup large implementations between our Elastic Beanstalk Applications and our usability. Using Lambda, we are able to not only scale out our applications, but we can do so while knowing we can also lower costs and scale down when our metrics hit certain thresholds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

I do dislike the limited runtimes that are available in lamda, and the pre-written code for management. It does leave some desires for more customizable runtime environments which would give us much more control over what small applications we can use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
