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.

"AWS lambda is the best"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I have worked on AWS lambda couple of months back and loved it. You just write the function and expose it as service, job or as an event. You write the simplest function and it can behave like an API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Nothing, one thing though, I wish it had more text editor functionality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Automation and governance with AWS Lambda"

Lambda is easy to utilise with well-known languages. Using common languages like Python makes serverless coding very easy to do. Within a few minutes it's possible to have an application up and running! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Figuring out the security between Lambda and other services can be tricky in some cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It automates the task of managing resources!! "
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

i have been working with AWS Lambda for 1-2 years and it's very reliable and efficient tool for performing event driven server less computing , previously we have to face so many hurdles while developing cloud based application we need to take care about so many configuration before uploading our code to servers but by using AWS lambada you just need to write the code and upload it to the Lambada and rest of the things it'll do it by it self and thus it provides us a server less environment for developing cloud based applications easily rapidly for any kind of business requirements ! ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The quality of services is not up to the mark and pricing is little bit higher comparitevly!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS Lambda review"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda is very easy to work with and the tools for Visual Studio really make it easy to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The primary thing missing at this point is the ability to do live debugging via Visual Studio. The logs work pretty well but actual debugging support would be awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Brilliant"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The ease of use within the console. I develop in dot net and the aws sdk for dot net is one of the best things I've used, being able to deploy your Lambda from within the Visual Studio IDE has saved so much time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

There is no folder structure within the console, having the ability to folder Lambdas would make organising them easier and would tidy up the console display Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing Serverless Magic"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The best thing about AWS Lambda is the serverless platform. I've used serverless in conjuction with lambda to deploy several services, bots, and awesome tools which are used by my teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

I think I like Lambda a lot, I'm not sure if I dislike much beyond the interface, but AWS doesn't have good UIs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple Serverless Compute"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I like the flexibility to break large applications into small, manageable chunks. We also use Lambda for periodic, one-off or scheduled tasks. Great for jobs that don't require "always on" application code running on our EC2 fleet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

There's not much to dislike.. Deployment is easy, and integration with other AWS services is full featured. I suppose if I had to pick asomething to nitpick, I would say it would be nice to independently manage compute vs memory allocation to a Lambda function Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"best stack that aws has ever created"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

i love how lamda has bridged the gab between different stacks for different developers. without lamad we wouldn't be able to develope in c# or .net on aws. i'm one of the fans for this stack and i always use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

none. the stack is impressive, and it doesn't need to change. however i would say aws need to expand this more with more of the products to have full connecitons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
