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

Love how easy it is to deploy and run code without managing any servers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

I have had trouble with double fires when lambda is configured with a sns trigger when the function fails. I usually write logic to manage this but I wish I could easily configure whether the lambda exec should be retired. Maybe I am doing something wrong... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to deploy and works great with other AWS offerings"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Lamdas offer an easy method for creating a serverless function quickly. Testing and monitoring tie in nicely with other AWS products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The console is sometimes difficult to navigate when repeatedly testing a function. Viewing the results of a particular execution in the log require additional navigation. Toggling back and forth between the testing and logging in the console is somewhat cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Driving good architecture principles in the cloud"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I like that AWS Lambda is driving good architecture principles in the cloud. A service has to be stateless and self contained which is good. This makes it more elastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

I would prefer if lambda had better C# support and migration from Web API to Lambda was available. That would help us port so much of C# APIs to the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A review"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The fact that I don't have to manage servers is the primary reason I love Lambda. Ease of use and supported languages are great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Wish it was easier to test things locally. Also when using switch roles the session timeout is a killer when coding in the online Lambda console. As a result, an auto-save capability would be awesome! Would like to see FIFO SQS as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
