"AWS Lambda an event based function as a service"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

1. I personally rely too much on lambda functions whenever I need to automate a certain action based on some triggers which happens on daily basis. The trigger can be as simple as user clicking on a button on some UI or as complicated as getting webhook notifications from any third party website.

2. Despite AWS's other offerings like EC2, I prefer using Lambda because it is reuse a lambda function in different places of a project or any project as long as the input argument remains the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

1. At times the execution endup taking time.

2. I found it pretty intimidating for even the technical person to learn AWS Lambda and how it can be used to automate several operations and save time. Although there are help documentation one can refer to, to learn and setup their AWS functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable and Easy-to-Use Serverless Solution"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

What I like most about AWS Lambda is that it makes deploying code simple without needing to manage any servers. It scales up automatically when needed and only charges when your code is running, which helps keep costs under control. AWS Lambda also works well with other AWS services, making it really flexible for building event-driven applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

One of the challenges with Lambda is the "cold start" delay, which can slow things down a bit, especially if the function hasn’t been used in a while. Additionally, there’s a timeout limit that doesn’t work well with long-running tasks, so some processes have to be redesigned to fit within those limits. Lastly, costs can add up quickly with a high volume of requests, so it’s important to monitor usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Serverless, that how it seems but efficient and cost optimizing."
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I use to develop automation scripts , where they will be running behind a cron jobs. Too much setup when coming to api connectivity, security, integrity. But I had to pay for electricity bill and other running things. AWS Lambda is basically, you get charged based on how many hits it gets. Hardly, I can hardcode a simple script which doesn't need a overkill server and thinking about cost, yes, I love this. Also I use lamba for security automation purpose for remediation or notification. One more thing in monitoring is, I can write a code to format raw logs from any software and convert it into specific format. Highlight is, I get control of event based run, time based run etc which helps me reduce my cost as much I can. Documentation are clear and easy . Implementing, yes with basic aws service knowledge and use cases. Support : AWS stands for a community. Its a day to daay job on my side. Integration part , it can be integrated with multiple services based on the scenario or business plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Nothing. It offfers me a good way to reduce my work and implementation process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS Lambda- The Serverless Computing"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The best thing about AWS Lambda is we can run/execute the code without provisioning or managing the servers and infrastuctures. It has auto scalability feature which ensures that no matter what will be the size of demand, it will still able to process and exceute it. It integrates with other AWS Services like S3, DynamoDB seamlessly. And also we need to pay only for the time it computes. It is also called Functionality as a Service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

One of the main limitations of AWS Lambda is the time limit imposed on the execution time of a function. It can only run for a maximum of 12-15 minutes which is not sufficient for longer tasks. Also there is a latency delay in initialization when the Lambda function is invoked for the first time after being idle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Revolutionary serverless service"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

No infrastructure to maintain and quick setup. Can focus on solving the problem rather than worrying about infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Does not offer a startup step to do customisation to the underlying OS. While 15 minute is sufficient for the original purpose of lambda, it would have been really nice if there is an extended timeout option for some use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS Lambda made life easy to run codes"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I am very impressed with the functionality that AWS Lambda is providing, now without managing different servers I and members in my team are able to run different code for testing using this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

It has been like around 3 months I am using AWS Lambda and it is very convenient in using and able to run the codes for testing, also very scalable to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
