AWS Lambda Reviews & Product Details

I like Lambda how it simplifies the models I deploy and its really easy to get started with. Couple that with API gatway and we have got a real product. It's really easy to deploy the micro services on Lambda Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are limitations on the size of the packages and there is the cold start problem. There is a run time for the products Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about AWS Lambda is that it relieves me as a developer from any interaction with tangible hardware Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Currently, cold starts can be an annoyance as their unpredicable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are many good things about AWS Lambda, but to describe one is thst it is one spot for everything. When I work on Lambda, it saves me a lot of time as I can do multiple uploads within minutes and see the results. Don't have to wait for the build anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Still need to figure out something about it by using it more.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Used for us in Functionizer project (Eurostars programme), for quick detection of incoming calls and for face recognition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Short lifetime of lambda. Great to have now 15 instead of 5, but... :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the integration with API gateway and how easy it is to write isolated functions and tie them to API calls for quick API prototyping Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the coldstart times and the timeouts but once you understand what they are it's easy to work around them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not having to worry about compute capacity is nice as well as being able to easily provision items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its really hard to test and debug unless you deploy it seems which makes the development process fairly annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its very easier to develop and deploy and we can wasily montior the logs in the cloudwatch logs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Every 5 minutes lambda getting timeout and again we need to restart the session and request needs to be go through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to create event driven architecture It's nice to be able to trigger actions based on AWS events or by making calls to the lambda function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a fan of the logging in cloudwatch. Could use a lot of help. Also wish that you could trigger jobs based off of SQS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Time saving. Love not having to manage infrastructure, of course. Integrations into other services like S3 event triggers and API Gateway have really saved our time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When you have a lot of Lambda functions (over 500), managing them can get difficult. I've heard of cases where Lambda functions can accidentally become recursive. For instance, when you have a Lambda that triggers an S3 event, which triggers another Lambda. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being to trigger a function when something happens Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Until recently the 5 minute timeout causing function to not run completely Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
