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.

"Data transformation ETL in a minute"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

the serveless side fo the lambda, the fact that it super easy to instantiate, to use, you can use different languages such as Java, Pythonm and or javascript. I like also the fact that the cost of the lamba is almost nothing and it is a key component for Serveless architecture Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

the usage of lambdas as step functions, the limitation when transforming large files e g greater that 1.% Gb. Sometimes you could have issues and you don't know why you have an issue on which lambda function. the debugging logs of lambdas could be limited Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"No more servers maintenance"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Pay for what you use.

Scalability by default.

Simple and straight-forward.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Nothing really.

But something that could make it even better is having the option to "debug" the functions online. Like some sort of online IDE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lambda, lambda, lambda"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The no ops part. I’ve been managing systems in a datacenter for years and too much time is spent on lifecycle management, datacenter cost and server issues. With lambda we can run workloads whenever they need to run at incredibly low costs. We’ve been running some apps using lambda for 3 years and never experienced any issues with it.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

When you run lambda inside of a subnet within a vpc, the performance decreases significantly. You need to keep the lambda’s warm for optimal performance but this beats the purpose of running it when it’s needed to run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable and widely used service !!"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

as a senior software developer i have been using AWS Lambda since 2014 and i highly recommend it for a rapid software development in industry very easily , the most wonderful thing about aws Lambda is that it is highly automated service platform in which user can do it's work very easily and interactively , so mainly it improves the performance of your application deployed over the cloud platform , it provides the dynamicity to your application which is handling a real time data to display and process in the back - end , it automatically manages the os updates for your instances , it also provides scale ability to your infrastructure , and it also monitors the total AWS infrastructure for availability automatically and smoothly , so in nut shell by using AWS Lambda you just need to focus on developing applications not on managing the infrastructure etc !.

- Supports code in many languages

- Can be integrated with many services of AWS like IoT, Alexa, Cloudwatch, Kinesis, DynamoDB, API Gateway etc

- Scalable & Manages service. No worry of scaling

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

- Not able to edit code inline if source code contains many folders

- Does not have option to select required CPU cores

- Dependency installation should be done automatically. e.g. In case of Node.js, dependencies should be installed automatically based on Package.json Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lambda is Original Serverless ||| Scalable and Reliable "
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

For me when someone says, serverless lambda comes to my even though other big cloud providers do provide the solution.

Lambda is cheap, takes away the pain of provisioning servers, couple with amazon gateway takes care of making an API.

Lambda is scalable and can handle multiple requests at a single timestamp. Since Amazon takes care of that, no need to worry about that

Lambda offers a million hits a month for free, so if you are a startup or are experimenting, this can be really good

Pricing of lambda is by nearest milli-second which is really good and cheap

Lambda layers are a really good way to experimenting and re-using packages Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

I hate the size limit on the packages, it is 50 MB for zipped packages and 250 unzipped and if you are deploying some complex models, this limit is easily reached. I can't say how many times, I've to work on this issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Swiss Army Knife of AWS"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Flexibility. You give me a way to trigger a lambda function and I can move mountains (provided it takes less than 15 minutes). Well, with step functions in front of it, I can even take longer than 15 minutes. Writing in node.js lets us consume complex JSON data streams and files quickly and easily. My team is really excited about all the possible applications, especially those we haven't thought of yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Not much so far. The Cloud 9 enviroment we code in could use a few more features, but as far as the lambda functions themselves, we have yet to hit a wall we couldn't climb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
