AWS Lambda Initial Setup

Harsha Ravnikar - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Solutions Architect at Sysmex America, Inc.

The initial setup of AWS Lambda is easy, it can be done with a couple of clicks.

We use Amazon's CodeBuild, which does the deployment for us, and we use CodeDeploy to write our software application, which submits the code into our Git DevOps operation. From there it gets built and deployed automatically. It's similar to a CICD operation.

Setting up AWS Lambda is simple and AWS provides great documentation that includes installation details, as well as guidelines and best practices. The coding of Lambda functions is simple and straightforward with our developer.

The solution’s initial setup was neither easy nor complex. I started learning about cloud services about six to seven months ago and already had a background in it. However, the implementation was not easy since a lot of errors just popped up. I had to check the CloudWatch logs and look into the bugs in the code. It wasn’t interesting. The deployment took around two hours to complete.

Solution & Integration Architect - AWS Cloud & Modernization at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

The initial setup is straightforward. They have variety of ways to set it up via the console, ETK or CFT. You can easily configure Lambda via variety of ways based on your experience. Usually, newcomers will use console which is a UI and makes your task easier. Experienced people will go with CLIs, SDPF or CFTs to create Lambda resources.

We are not just deploying Lambda. We have a variety of AWS services which we combine into one script and we do it via an AWS code pipeline.

I would rate the setup a nine out of ten.

I would rate the initial setup around seven out of ten. While it wasn't overly challenging, it did demand a certain level of technical proficiency. Someone without substantial technical knowledge might find it less straightforward to set up.

AJ

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not overly difficult by any means. Ashish:
The Lambda function is not that hard to set up due to the fact that we generally go to the AWS services URL and we can easily find the Lambda function from there.

The solution really doesn't require that much maintenance. You don't need a big team on it at all.

The initial setup is more about usage. Implementing this solution takes about 15 minutes, but the code and debugging will take some time. Two or three people can manage and maintain this solution.

On a scale from one to five, I would give the initial setup a five.

SK
DevOps Consultant at Nissan Digital

The initial setup took work. I have worked on the development activity of the solution. The cloud architect of the solution needs to learn Python programming, like coding activities, to update new scripts inside Lambda. It requires a team for the process. I came across some issues during the deployment process and was able to fix them within an hour. So, fixing the problems after raising a ticket while deploying the solution takes time. I rate the setup process as two or three for a medium-level expert. Further, I rate the process as a nine for an executive with knowledge of Python programming. If everything works well, it takes 45 minutes to deploy the solution.

Provided the person deploying the solution knows the format of the input, the setup is relatively simple for experienced users. Deployment doesn't take long because of the integrated machine services. Our implementation was carried out in-house. It doesn't require any maintenance once it has run for a month.

Everything was set up in the public cloud. We didn't need to set up a lot of things. We didn't have to connect a lot of connectivities to external applications. If you are setting it up on hybrid solution, there is a lot of work that needs to go in. You need to understand what your organization's security standards are, how the different teams are going to access the infrastructure, etc. For hybrid, it will take a lot of time but for only the public cloud, it is quite easy.

AWS Platform Head & Chief Architect - CMA Unit at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees

I would say the setup is straightforward. I think that most of the development is really straightforward in nature. The solutions have to develop based on some use-cases defined by the client organization. When these are defined, we are just meeting the needs of the organization by building the solution to do what they need. So the setup and implementation are all pretty straightforward.
