I really appreciate the security and control that Amazon VPC offers. It allows me to create isolated networks, establish custom subnets, and manage firewalls using security groups and NACLs. Additionally, the integration with other AWS services like EC2 and RDS is incredibly smooth Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC)?

As of my experience It requires experience. Constructing peering connections and VPNs, as well as configuring routing, resembles an intricate maze.

What do you like best about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

Signing up with Amazon RDS is relatively easy and there are so many features that are offered. The backup is automated while the architecture can be scaled and replication is managed automating the complexity of the database out of the user’s way. It is a set package solution with those necessary features that increase dependence and productivity for organizations. It has very fast implementation and has good support to customers. Using frequently. It is relatively easy to integrate with other . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

Amazon RDS is a friendly user but its underlying infrastructure is not accessible in advanced configuration. But at the same time, the extensive feature set is a positive, but ties in with a negative — cost, especially for large workloads. RDS is a great answer for the large majority of your needs, however, it may be limited in its flexibility should you need to create something more complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Amazon RDS provides something analogous to how we maintain databases and prepare them for scale by automating backups, patching, and replication. Thus, we enable ourselves to concentrate on data analysis and application development rather than infrastructure management and reap benefits in terms of improved productivity and reduced operational overhead with which we are very much dependent on for the business growth.

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

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.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

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.

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

Some offset functions that need to be separated from the main code base and doesn't need a EC2 instance to be running all the time as the incoming requests are limited and not resource intensive. And whole the security part is taken over by AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

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.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

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.

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

AWS solves the need for a data center for hosting and deploying our applications.

As a startup, it was much easier for us to implement new resources in AWS and reduced the time required to launch our product in the market.

It offers multiple services which are readily available in AWS with much less configuration changes needed.

It helps us save costs and focus on building the business instead of managing the data center and its servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)?

The most important feature which makes it standout in the market is, integration with other AWS services. And it enhances its functionality, making it seamless to use within the AWS ecosystem. Another best features are scalability and flexibility. Amazon S3 has different storage classes which your purpose according to the requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)?

Latency can be an issue sometimes as AWS S3 is optimized for high availability instead of low latency. Pricing is competitive as compared to other Cloud Service Providers. Apart from these, I have never come across anything to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) can be used as a centralized data lake. We are working on a web application developement for a client. And the web application performance need to be monitored in real-time by analyzing logs and user events. Logs and events from various sources (web servers, applications, databases) are pushed continuously to S3 bucket by using Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose. On the other hand, S3 event notification triggers an AWS Lambda function everytime new log data is uploaded to S3 bucket. AWS Lambda processes the log data to filter, transform and enrich in real time, such as extracting IP addresses, URLs, reputation, categorizing event types etc. The processed log data and user events are then stored in S3 Glacier for long-term archiving. By using Amazon S3, we have implemented real-time monitoring which benefits both operational insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

One of the best things about AWS Lambda is its seamless integration with various AWS services like S3, CloudWatch for logging, and email services. Whenever my lambda function is not able to work properly, I can simply go to clouwatch and see the logs and it help me to understand the problem. And one more thing is that it is easy to create AWS lambda function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda has predefined limits on memory allocation (almost 10Gb)which make it not suitable for heavy workloads.

It is mostly used for the smaller product which need a less memory allocation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The seamless integration with AWS services like S3 and CloudWatch has been super helpful for me to automate tasks like file processing and logging. Plus it also provide pay much as you use. So you can monitor your expenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

AWS Cloud is the best cloud service provider for B2B companies and large B2C companies. My B2B company has five software (3 Business Software and 2 Management Software) deployed on AWS, and it provides us very smooth response. Before every business deal we always show our website to the client for more information about our company. In my 3+ years of experience in AWS our website never faced any bad server experience or security issue in AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

Currently I am using AWS and our website is uploaded to AWS using CI/CD GitHub Actions. The response is so good and smooth. so currently I'm not facing any problems using AWS, that's why I don't dislike the AWS cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In my company there are total of five softwares (3 Business Software and 2 Management Software) are deployed on AWS Cloud. I have 3+ years of experience and I never faced any server outage or network failure problem. When I started working on AWS Cloud it provided me 750 hours of free usage which is awesome to experience AWS. I use products like S3 bucket, An EC2 instance and CodeDeploy with GitHub action for CI/CD on AWS, So that the website always have some developement, fixings and live 24/7. According to me AWS Cloud is great for B2B and large B2C companies because as we know in these companies we have to show our website or portal to the clients.
