"Lambda the true Cloud experience"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Everything is directly managed by Amazon. No house keeping required. Auto scaling helps scale up and down based on requirements Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The temporary storage is too less for some applications. Would like to see the service register an image of the container after it is destroyed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"On board with Serverless"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda is easier to implement and test out code. We currently use it in integration with API Gateway in order to validate authentication tokens passed to our systems. We are also using AWS Lambda to build out metrics for SES. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

I would like to see more suggestions on how to improve performance if you utilize the Java language. I know that due to the nature of the JVM ecosystem, these types of lambdas can experience more slow starts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Revolutionizes lightweight workloads"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Lambda has revolutionized how we handle execution of on-demand lightweight workloads. While eliminating infrastructure for traditional applications migrated to serverless technologies is certainly a strong benefit of Lambda, one of our largest wins has been in eliminating the need for long-running infrastructurte for administrative and lightweight workloads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The concurrency limits on Lambda have caused a number of problems during our deployment, and are also difficult to monitor and proactively mitigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It can do it all"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

What I like best about AWS Lambda is what I just learned. Meaning, every week I learn something knew that helps me to automate workflows, speed up my work or integrate apps, etc. I feel like I am still only using the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what Lambda can do. Looking forward to what I learn next week! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Nothing as of yet, though would like more tutorials on the different platforms for integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lambda Compute is the future."
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Lambda is a powerful compute engine. It enables systems to be architected for variable cost, enabling a business to "cost-architect" a system. Variable cost compute is the future where you only pay for what you use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

There isn't much to dislike. Supporting services are appearing (i.e. CloudZero, Epsagon, IO|pipe, etc.) and training programs for developers are growing and becoming more prevalent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
