AWS Lambda Reviews

We have two or three applications that are hosted with Lambda. Being on cloud, the solution has its own advantages with good management of resources. You can spin up anything instantly without any investment and disaster recovery or HA is taken care of by the service itself. 

I believe Lambda security needs to be improved.  

I've been using this solution for one year. 

The solution is stable. 

I'm satisfied with the technical support, they respond quickly. 

The initial setup was straightforward and we currently have four engineers working on the product. 

Licensing is on a monthly subscription model and is usage-based. 

I rate the solution nine out of 10. 

The primary use case is processing data. We use the pipeline multiple places to process the data. Whatever JSON files we get, we have to standardize, enrich, and also format to the application.

The most valuable feature is that it's serverless. Therefore, server configuration is not required, and we can run it directly anywhere. We can write Java code or Python code in that.

The initial setup is straightforward as well.

AWS Lambda is good for short-term automation processes.

If you want to run processing data, which takes less than 15 minutes, then you can use Lambda. However, if it is a specific ETL process or a long-term one, then AWS Lambda is not a good option.

The longer Lambda runs, the higher is the cost incurred because the cost is based on runtime.

At times, it hard to know when Lambda should be used and when it should not. So in the future, if there are serverless extensions, it would be fine.

I've been working with AWS Lambda for six to seven months.

The initial setup of AWS Lambda is straightforward.

The cost of AWS Lambda is based on runtime.

It's a good product, and we use Lambda for short run processes, for example, processing a file from the landing zone. Suppose FTP or SFTP has put a file in one landing area, and we have to push a file to the S3 bucket. We would not need to do any writing, shell scripting, or Linux coding, etc. In general, with Lambda you can get the Python coder or Java code.

So, professionals can easily perform these tasks within a short time. This will help with agile processes and sprints. My advice is that AWS Lambda is a good service for short-term automation processes.

I would rate AWS Lambda at eight on a scale from one to ten.

We use this solution for a mobile banking application with the ability to scale as per demand and to focus on core business functions rather than the platform.

This solution has improved our ability to scale as per demand and to focus on core business functions rather than the platform.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the API Gateway.

The security needs to be improved.

AWS Lambda is used for the whole surface, it does the backups, and schedules, and learns some of the core functionalities but it can depend on the topic or application. The solution is used to build APIs and many other functions 

AWS Lambda has some size limitations in the code line, you can't do a couple of functions to do the job.

I have been using AWS Lambda for approximately six years.

AWS Lambda is stable.

AWS Lambda is in the cloud which makes it scalable.

I have worked in many companies that have used this solution and some of them had a lot of users.

The support from AWS Lambda is very good, they are responsive.

I rate AWS Lambda a nine out of ten.

We use it for serverless functions.

The programming language and the integration with other AWS services are the most valuable features.

Its performance can be improved. There should also be more dynamic security permissions.

I have been using this solution since I joined this company, which was two years ago.

It is very stable.

It is very scalable.

There are no issues. So far, I am completely satisfied with their technical support.

It was easy.

I did it myself.

We didn't evaluate other options because it was a requirement for the project.

I would advise others to predefine the main model and ensure their CI/CD pipeline.

I am satisfied with Lambda, and I would recommend it to others. I would rate it an eight out of 10.

We have used Lambda for

batch processing for specific schedules.

different bot functions that run regularly,

Application business logic

Easy to impliment without any environment provisioning

 The initial setup is straightforward. 

The stability is good.

It has good monitoring. the visibility is great.

From a very high-level perspective, it is a good solution, however, there are certain limitations. This becomes challenging for us. Specifically, a limitation is Lambda cannot continuously execute for more than 15 minutes. That could be one limitation. On an implementation level, there are certain limitations that I know about yet would not be the best person to explain as I am not technical.

The execution timeout can be increased so that if we have a lengthy process, it will not fail before their timeouts. We've had to revamp the way that it works due to that 15-minute timeout limitation.

We've been using over 2 years

It's very stable, and it's easy to monitor. They have all the required logs and dashboards available on AWS to see the progress. The visibility of it also is good when a Lambda runs and completes.

I would not say it's scalable in terms of usage. As the demands increase it is scalable. But if the lambda need more time to process it's not scalable beyond 15 mts.

I've never dealt with technical support. I can't comment on their services. 

Positive

It seems to be a straightforward process. However, I'm not directly totally involved with the Lambda implementation.

We are implementors and can set up the solution for clients. 

The ROI is very good. It's a positive thing as there's no investment at all. It's purely on usage you have to pay. There's no upfront investment required, and it's only on the requirement that you have to choose Lambda. With the cost not being very big, the ROI is very good.

The cost is based on the number of Lambdas used if I'm not mistaken. It's only a usage charge, not a license charge.

We are an extensively using

I'd recommend the solution to other users and organizations. 

With time-out limitation, it's not a perfect fit for the batch process which takes more than 10 min.

Our website is hosted on AWS, and we use Lambda to create trigger points.

Lambda's dashboard could be more user-friendly and customizable. I want the dashboard to have more information to quickly identify what functions and events are running. Also, we want to be able to add more trigger points, push notifications, and events. For example, we have a shopping website, so we want to create some events to trigger batch notifications like SMS.

I think my company implemented Lambda two years back, but I only joined 10 months ago.

Lambda is stable. We don't have any problems with this app.

Many things are on running on the site, so there is no issue with scalability.

We haven't had issues with this platform, so I haven't needed to contact support.

Actually, I am not recommended that thing. Actually, it is sent by our vendors. Actually, they implemented that thing.

I rate AWS Lambda 10 out of 10. I can recommend Lambda. It's a good fit for our use case. It's also suitable for companies of any size. For example, we're a large enterprise, and we've used Lambda without any problems in the last 10 months.

We are using the latest version.

We use the solution for the building of small applications.

The solution offers good performance. It is a good tool for developers. 

I wish to see better execution time in the next release. 

I believe we have been using AWS Lambda for around a year.

The solution is stable. 

The solution is sufficiently scalable. 

We have plans to increase its usage. 

I am satisfied with Amazon tech support. 

The initial setup is fine. 

Its duration varies with the application that one is deploying. 

The installation can be accomplished on one's own. 

The solution is pay as you go.

To the best of my knowledge, we have been using the solution from the get go. 

There are 100 end users making use of the solution in our organization. 

I would recommend the solution to others.

The solution is recommended for those who have event-based applications. 

I rate Lambda AWS as a nine-point-five out of ten.
