"Usage of AWS lambda serverless services for data processing and auto scaling which is awesome"

4.5/5

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

The most crucial part is that, it is serverless. No need to manage any server, and AWS will take care of it automatically. Again it automatically scales the instance to handle more traffic. Its supports multiple languages like, java, python, node js, Go. Its support the event driven computing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

The deployment code package size is currently 50MB which is a bit less; if it can increase a little more, it will help. The throttle limit is 100 concurrent lambda function execution. This is bit less. The maximum time-out limit is 900 seconds/15 min. If it can be increased, it will help for some complex applications. Lambda functions are stateless so they are not able to retain the information between the different invocation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In the legacy system, we need to configure the server manually to handle the heavy traffic. Still, lambda is serverless, and it will auto-scale the instances and manage our heavy traffic based on the requirement. It will be triggered based on the event from AWS API Gateway, Kinesis, SNS, SQS and process the data received from the upstream system in real-time and push it to the database or different dashboard.
