AWS Lambda Reviews & Product Details

Great for running custom code without maintaining a server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's some extra work to do for iterating through versions of code (i.e. run, debug, deploy) but there are ways to run lambda locally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lambda provides an easy way to implement an ETL pipeline as well as do things like monitoring and alerts. We also implemented Lambdas as a way to control untagged resources in our AWS environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Figuring out how to properly Terraform Lambdas with the right version (outside of just LATEST) is terrible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very easy to deploy a web service from Visual Studio, and instantly get an HTTPS url that can be called to trigger the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The function only lasts for 5 minutes, and you cannot set up a background process easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You do not need to manage infrastructure anymore when developing applications. This is by far the most important cloud technology that have emerged over the years of doing cloud. Every year Lambda improves and is getting more features added. Love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

Ability to modify code inline, and immediately test and see responses Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Failures not always intuitive to figure out cause. This is alleviated with experience, but not always obvious when new. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

easy, reliable, multi languages, auto scaling, fast to learn Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

not as reliable as other AWS services. We're experiencing some issues which aren't under our control Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

multiple language support, auto scaling, multi region support, use of cloud watch and logging Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

need to use cloud formation, duplicate execution detection is not native Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

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.

Earlier Lambda was limited to run for 5 minutes which was sometime timed out when searching for logs from S3. But new offering to run it for 15minutes we can achieve it one run only, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not much I could say I dislike about this service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

easy to use, deploy maintain and integrate with other service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

cant use containers like docker, and runtime while at 15 minutes would like it longer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
