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.

"Serverless Power!"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Serverless, low cost, easy to use and test standalone functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Web interface is somewhat cumbersome. Importing external libraries can be difficult to understand if you've never done it before. As the use of lambda functions increases, debugging can be difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"We are heavily using lamda for our serverless SAS"

4/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Event driven workload execution. Like the idea of executing work load as function execution rather than providing machines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Timeouts. Some part of the application is CPU heavy and times out in lamda forcing us to use nested lamda. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's fast and cheap, and none of the usual convoluted provisioning calculations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
