"Lambda is great to start with, instead of containers"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

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.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

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.

"Awesome Serverless Experience"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

There are many good things about AWS Lambda, but to describe one is thst it is one spot for everything.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Still need to figure out something about it by using it more.. 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.

"Great service, poor logging"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

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.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

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.

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

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.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

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.
