AWS Lambda Reviews & Product Details

It is a cost-efficient product that allows you to process a number of requests for free and integrate seamlessly with almost any AWS service. All of this can be achieved within 15 minutes of execution, which is more than sufficient for many scenarios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A slow cold start is one of the main drawbacks I dislike about Lambda. I understand it's part of the service's nature, but I'm pretty sure they can find a way to make cold starts faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to quickly deploy without having any issues like managing servers, you can use it for multiple things like worker for SQS, its very easy to use in multiple languages like NodeJs, Python even Java. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Execution time is max 15 minutes, so, if you have something which will take more time to process like video you can not use it in that case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The serverless feature which helps to customise and create various Automation as required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is timeout for lambda of 15 minutes which can be a constraint as some operations may fail due to this Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It scales up automatically based on incoming requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The maximum execution time is 15 minutes per invocation, so I couldn't run long tasks or perform heavy data processing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS Lambda handles provisioning, scaling, patching, and even high availability for you. That removes a huge operational burden, especially for small teams or early-stage projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Debugging an issue is not easy, very complex Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to deploy, easy to connect and integrate with other AWS sources.

Can connect with Github and gitlab Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Time of lambda timeouts is less. Can improve on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost-effective with on-demand requests-based billing to cut down costs of an EC2 instance which runs 24/7 and even no need for maintenance required. Able to easily handle a thousand concurrent requests and scales automatically based on incoming requests. Support for the most popular programming languages stands out from the competition. Integration with other AWS services was seamless and very helpful to build a end-to-end product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being stateless by design, the state cannot be maintained in most places makes it necessary to store the data either in other AWS services or any external storage. As it's a cloud-based function debugging is a bit more difficult and limited access to logs makes it more difficult. An execution timeout of 15 mins makes it hard for some long asynchronous file handling process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The first thing I like about AWS cloud is it's user friendly user interface and the documentation it offers for its users.

Being the largest cloud provider, it offers vast number of features that one can implement in their software development workflows.

The learning opportunities and contents that AWS offers is very much useful to cloud learners who begin with AWS as their first cloud platform.

Easy integration with multiple other platforms makes it easier for developers to work with in their software development process and day-to-day activities utilising AWS cloud.

Implementing a new workflow in AWS is much easier and simpler compared to the competitors.

The customer support AWS offers is really fantastic, including the basic support that it offers even with free of cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Given that AWS cloud has plenty of features, the cost of those features really comes at higher price compared to the other cloud providers such as Azure and GCP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the way it scales. Leaving developers to code and not worry about infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Could be hard to explain to a new onboardining engineer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Awesome service if you are looking for some quick quirks!! I would recommend highly if you are looking for running serverless applications which can also integrates with many AWS services like S3, DynamoDB, API gateway etc. The best thing about this service is automating things with ease and you pay only for the compute time you use.

Only disadvantage over this many advantages.. Need to perform some work around as the execution time is quite long (15 minutes). Debugging might be tricky some times as the logs are stored directly in CloudWatch and sometimes its quite difficult to debug. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
