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.

"AWS Lambda is great for serverless processes"

AWS Lambda supports a number of languages so I can write my lambda code in whatever language I feel comfortable with. The pricing model is also very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS Lambda can take sometime to figure out. You don't have an unlimited amount of time to run your function so make sure you keep the time require to execute your function short. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS Lambda:

Check to see if your favorite language is supported y AWS Lambda and if it is give it a try. I would also read as much documentation as you can before starting with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have a number of business items that need to run many times during the day based on various triggers, AWS Lambda was the best way to get these to be run and I didn't need to pay for or setup an EC2 instance to do this work. AT this point in time, I do not use it but will start up again soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
