"Awesome opportunities!!"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The easy scalability and the very low usage cost.

Integrating AWS gateway and aws kinesis pipeline it's a huge plus as well!

At first I thought that the execution time would be a problem, but since I've started working a little bit more intensive with it, it proves me that it was faster than I though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

There were a few negative sides, especially in features, but dailly they're updating the way lambda works and now it is becoming huge!

Actually, I had problems to implement sails-waterline model adapter, since lambda wasn't planned to become a framework hosting function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smooth ride on a steep learning curve"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The platform works flawlessly but the plethora of feature and configuration is vast. Knowing what to do where is a challenge.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The feeling over being overwhelmed with options. When should I use all of these functions? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I love AWS Lambda"
What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Lambda is a wonderful product, My favorite feature is the possibility of containerize each of my service with minimum effort, without worry about scalability and server maintenance. The pay per use model is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Sometimes I worry about the response time of my code after a few minutes of the last execution, i understand that AWS Lambda need to load a new instance of my container. But maybe if there were any service to keep my code warm, these would improve response times.

I would like the integration between AWS SQS and lambda. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
