AWS Lambda Reviews & Product Details

AWS Lambda lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. You pay only for the compute time you consume - there is no charge when your code is not running. With Lambda, you can run code for virtually any type of application or backend service - all with zero administration. Just upload your code and Lambda takes care of everything required to run and scale your code with high availability. You can set up your code to automatically trigger from other AWS services or call it directly from any web or mobile app.

"Lambda is excellent"

4.5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

simple concept implemented in a straightforward way that eliminates much of the setup pains and leaves most of the flexibility of writing your own code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Metrics and analysis are very difficult and there's not much built-in support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS Lambda:

Lambda is fantastic if you need lightweight, extremely scalable compute. If you need heavy duty long-running computation systems, then lambda is less likely to work for you. If it's an async type long-running system, then you can use step functions with lambda to achieve that in an incredibly simple way, but long-running compute activities don't tend to fit with the lambda idea very well.

What problems is AWS Lambda solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have written new applications in a serverless system using lambda for the core processing functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
