Longer execution times. Integrations with more services. Ability to run a dedicated cluster of EC2 instances for Lambda functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Always Hot Mode"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Serverless. To code something that runs without servers is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The problem is the harming up lamda. For example we created a lamda function that was not utilized much but enough by our customers. The only problem is sometimes it takes 10+ seconds to run the lamda function when it is cold. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
