"My Experience Using AWS Lambda"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda is like a small set of function that can be executed without setting up any server.All you need to do is to write your small server side code, create an api gateway or use any other services like ( S3 Events, SNS, Cloud Watch Events) to trigger your lambda function.

Its That easy to use and implement all you need is your code create a lambda function test it set a trigger and you are good to go.

No need to set up any server on ec2.

Aws Lambda is cost efficent you will only pay on the number of api calls or event triggers and the amout of time your code takes to execute check their documentations for more details on pricing.

Their new feature introduces use of ecr docker images with lambda function. so you can configure a docker image and use it as aws lambda function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

There are only Limited things you can do with aws lambda like

1) You can only execute small server side code, and uncompressed docker images less than 10gb

2) You'll face some latency issue because it take some time to invoke lambda function Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
