AWS Lambda Reviews & Product Details

AWS Lambda lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. You pay only for the compute time you consume - there is no charge when your code is not running. With Lambda, you can run code for virtually any type of application or backend service - all with zero administration. Just upload your code and Lambda takes care of everything required to run and scale your code with high availability. You can set up your code to automatically trigger from other AWS services or call it directly from any web or mobile app.

"Lambda development"

The different supported languages and ease of integration with other amazon services. Basically everything is using a lambda nowadays. I like the scalability and how fast it is to get it setup with other services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is hard to debug, I would like to be able to quickly do a debug session without having to go online or setup a dev environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Labmda for event driven processing"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Lambda is available everywhere, S3, API Gateway, Kinesis, anywhere I've wanted to run an event driven serverless process. Lambdas can include any arbitrary code via zip packaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Cold start time keeps me from using Lambda in a few cases where it would otherwise be ideal. Having the option to keep lambdas warm or with predictive scaling would be a great help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
