"Serverless, that how it seems but efficient and cost optimizing."
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

I use to develop automation scripts , where they will be running behind a cron jobs. Too much setup when coming to api connectivity, security, integrity. But I had to pay for electricity bill and other running things. AWS Lambda is basically, you get charged based on how many hits it gets. Hardly, I can hardcode a simple script which doesn't need a overkill server and thinking about cost, yes, I love this. Also I use lamba for security automation purpose for remediation or notification. One more thing in monitoring is, I can write a code to format raw logs from any software and convert it into specific format. Highlight is, I get control of event based run, time based run etc which helps me reduce my cost as much I can. Documentation are clear and easy . Implementing, yes with basic aws service knowledge and use cases. Support : AWS stands for a community. Its a day to daay job on my side. Integration part , it can be integrated with multiple services based on the scenario or business plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Nothing. It offfers me a good way to reduce my work and implementation process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS Lambda- The Serverless Computing"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The best thing about AWS Lambda is we can run/execute the code without provisioning or managing the servers and infrastuctures. It has auto scalability feature which ensures that no matter what will be the size of demand, it will still able to process and exceute it. It integrates with other AWS Services like S3, DynamoDB seamlessly. And also we need to pay only for the time it computes. It is also called Functionality as a Service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

One of the main limitations of AWS Lambda is the time limit imposed on the execution time of a function. It can only run for a maximum of 12-15 minutes which is not sufficient for longer tasks. Also there is a latency delay in initialization when the Lambda function is invoked for the first time after being idle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Revolutionary serverless service"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

No infrastructure to maintain and quick setup. Can focus on solving the problem rather than worrying about infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Does not offer a startup step to do customisation to the underlying OS. While 15 minute is sufficient for the original purpose of lambda, it would have been really nice if there is an extended timeout option for some use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

It has been like around 3 months I am using AWS Lambda and it is very convenient in using and able to run the codes for testing, also very scalable to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Serverless Computing that Scales Efficiently and Affordably with a Constraints."

My main issue, with AWS Lambda is the 15 minute execution timeout that restricts the duration of operations it can handle efficiently.
