AWS Lambda Reviews & Product Details

Cost-effective with on-demand requests-based billing to cut down costs of an EC2 instance which runs 24/7 and even no need for maintenance required. Able to easily handle a thousand concurrent requests and scales automatically based on incoming requests. Support for the most popular programming languages stands out from the competition. Integration with other AWS services was seamless and very helpful to build a end-to-end product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being stateless by design, the state cannot be maintained in most places makes it necessary to store the data either in other AWS services or any external storage. As it's a cloud-based function debugging is a bit more difficult and limited access to logs makes it more difficult. An execution timeout of 15 mins makes it hard for some long asynchronous file handling process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The first thing I like about AWS cloud is it's user friendly user interface and the documentation it offers for its users.

Being the largest cloud provider, it offers vast number of features that one can implement in their software development workflows.

The learning opportunities and contents that AWS offers is very much useful to cloud learners who begin with AWS as their first cloud platform.

Easy integration with multiple other platforms makes it easier for developers to work with in their software development process and day-to-day activities utilising AWS cloud.

Implementing a new workflow in AWS is much easier and simpler compared to the competitors.

The customer support AWS offers is really fantastic, including the basic support that it offers even with free of cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Given that AWS cloud has plenty of features, the cost of those features really comes at higher price compared to the other cloud providers such as Azure and GCP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best about AWS service is that::

1)AWS provides very vast services related to storage , servers, firewalls, networking , security .

2)AWS has good scalability, cost effective , it has good flexibilty .

its has different regions and has good availabity zones which helps with latency issues.

3)AWS provides good security for cloud it has Identity Access Management system , where datas can be protected and different users can be provided with different access and policies.

4)AWS has good security compliance.

5)AWS provided good intergartion when in comes in terms of migration and while deployment of different application using AWS services its lot easier.

6)AWS provides good documentation on its services .

7)AWS cloud provided proper updates on its services and if any new services are included proper webinars are conducted and the process and serices are explained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only the thing i dislike about AWS is naming of its services its not easier to find a service related to a particular search and naming its terms .

like example suppose S3 any new fresher wont be able to identify it as a storage service and the related term bucket it should have something named related to storage.

like other services like lightsail we wont know it is severless if you are a fresher. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like best about AWS Cloud is its scalability and flexibility and also AWS allows businesses to scale their infrastructure up or down based on demand Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

number of features, ease of use, ease of implementation, customer support, ease of integration, frequency of use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides a wide variety of of services. All services are one of the best services in the market. You can also manage who can access what services on what acess levels. You can do a lot of customization in AWS cloud services. You can also do a free trial for one year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost is a bit expensive as compared to other competitors. Moreover, it might be difficult for beginner to use AWS cloud services without any prior knowledge about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. I personally rely too much on lambda functions whenever I need to automate a certain action based on some triggers which happens on daily basis. The trigger can be as simple as user clicking on a button on some UI or as complicated as getting webhook notifications from any third party website.

2. Despite AWS's other offerings like EC2, I prefer using Lambda because it is reuse a lambda function in different places of a project or any project as long as the input argument remains the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. At times the execution endup taking time.

2. I found it pretty intimidating for even the technical person to learn AWS Lambda and how it can be used to automate several operations and save time. Although there are help documentation one can refer to, to learn and setup their AWS functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about AWS Lambda is that it makes deploying code simple without needing to manage any servers. It scales up automatically when needed and only charges when your code is running, which helps keep costs under control. AWS Lambda also works well with other AWS services, making it really flexible for building event-driven applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the challenges with Lambda is the "cold start" delay, which can slow things down a bit, especially if the function hasn’t been used in a while. Additionally, there’s a timeout limit that doesn’t work well with long-running tasks, so some processes have to be redesigned to fit within those limits. Lastly, costs can add up quickly with a high volume of requests, so it’s important to monitor usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use to develop automation scripts , where they will be running behind a cron jobs. Too much setup when coming to api connectivity, security, integrity. But I had to pay for electricity bill and other running things. AWS Lambda is basically, you get charged based on how many hits it gets. Hardly, I can hardcode a simple script which doesn't need a overkill server and thinking about cost, yes, I love this. Also I use lamba for security automation purpose for remediation or notification. One more thing in monitoring is, I can write a code to format raw logs from any software and convert it into specific format. Highlight is, I get control of event based run, time based run etc which helps me reduce my cost as much I can. Documentation are clear and easy . Implementing, yes with basic aws service knowledge and use cases. Support : AWS stands for a community. Its a day to daay job on my side. Integration part , it can be integrated with multiple services based on the scenario or business plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. It offfers me a good way to reduce my work and implementation process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about AWS Lambda is we can run/execute the code without provisioning or managing the servers and infrastuctures. It has auto scalability feature which ensures that no matter what will be the size of demand, it will still able to process and exceute it. It integrates with other AWS Services like S3, DynamoDB seamlessly. And also we need to pay only for the time it computes. It is also called Functionality as a Service.

One of the main limitations of AWS Lambda is the time limit imposed on the execution time of a function. It can only run for a maximum of 12-15 minutes which is not sufficient for longer tasks. Also there is a latency delay in initialization when the Lambda function is invoked for the first time after being idle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The various services that are available to integrate and build solution softwares. Like codecommit, codebuid, codepipeline to build cicd pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The New UI which was introduced recently has some bugs that needs to be fixed that includes automatic logout when opening VPC via RDS or Ec2 console page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
