"Lots of fun, makes infrastructure automation a breeze"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS SDK is well-documented and you have full access to everything in AWS. Anything you can do in the console can be automated via AWS Lambda. You can use the most popular languages to write Lambda functions and the Cloud9 integration makes it very easy to test and deploy your functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Importing external libraries/modules/packages is a hassle. Shouldn't be that hard for a way to upload external libraries directly to the AWS Lambda Cloud9 IDE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smart Home Lambda Users"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Easy to code//deploy and manage. Works with modern NodeJS versions. Easy to troubleshoot with cloudwatch logs. Also easy to use the AWS SDK to redirect traffic to other lambdas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

To use git directly I have to use other AWS tools that could cost money at scale. Sometimes adopting new Node versions is really behind, this might even result in duplicate code bases for new versions of plugins or Node features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple to use"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The pricing on code execution is excellent. The way of thinking that lambda forces you into helps you create microservices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

There are some limits on code execution that I cannot seem to get around. This helps create microservices, but it gets in the way of forward progress sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to get started and to develop and deploy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Logging is limited and expensive. By default logs go to Cloudwatch with no ability to group logs by applications. Moving logs to another platform for accumulation and monitoring is hard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
