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

It is just so easy to use and having to not manage multiple programs under one roof is just amazing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

It is cost efficient but would like to see more and have to pay less. However, we do use this application on a daily basis and is just amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simplest way to get started in the AWS Cloud"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

We have been starting to migrate some of our on prem services to the cloud. This removes complexity of provisioning, orchestrating, scaling our services. We are a mostly C# skilled shop and this is a great way to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Hot/Cold tendency of Lamda functions. The services we were running had a periodicity of usage that was about 2 minutes long every two minutes - Lamda containers goes cold and shutdown in those 20 minutes and it takes time to warm up - affecting performance. We need to find a way to keep containers warm during the 20 minutes to keep the performance optimal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Product for good price "
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I like how easy it is to deploy new functions and code to start a batch job. Or to call a endpoint with Route53 to update information whether by WebService or calling Webservices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Sometimes don't always get to edit the code in the editor when my file is bigger than usual. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"You Should Use Lambda"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

We started using Lambda this year, and it is simple to learn and create a serverless application. The way that Lambda integrates with other AWS services is really great and awesome to leverage other services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The lack of build libraries is bad. They don't include pandas or numpy, but at least you can import them into your lambda function if you want to use external libraries. I just wish there were more build libraries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Tons of connectors with other apps, flexibility with coding language and the dependency modules that we can implement. Has provision to download from npm automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

It gets really heavy when the file size goes more than 1MB. UI starts crashing and any new changes to the code takes a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great solution for quick database queries through API"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Lambda offers a quick and easy way to deploy query functionality for items that are sitting on RDS and applications that don't have an easy query API. Coupled with the API gateway, this is very powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The console is sometimes slow and the verification of the function can take a little while. Speeding this up would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
