AWS Lambda Other Advice

DouglasStein - PeerSpot reviewer
Director of Engineering at MemeSpark LLC

My advice is to think about the architecture first and don’t just throw your code into Lambda. Think about how your application is designed because using serverless is different.

I would rate this solution as a ten out of ten. It's a very critical service.

If you have a data application with a huge number of users that requires frequent user interaction, AWS Lambda may not be the best fit. However, it's suitable for applications with less frequent user interaction, like those accessed periodically, maybe every few minutes or hours.

For lightweight applications, AWS Lambda is a ten out of ten.

Understanding what your use model looks like is the key. All these cloud providers have so many different ways of implementing a solution that you really have to understand the near-term and long-term picture for that solution. What does it look like? When you're first building it, there might be a more expedited way to get it off the ground, but that may not scale properly, or your cost can get out of control. So, it is very important to align the right set of features within an AWS or Azure environment for not just getting the initial MVP built but also making sure that you're building it in a way that allows scaling and optimization of the cost model over time as the application scales. There's no one answer. The way you build the solution in the cloud is very dependent upon what the use case is.

From my perspective, not being at the engineering level, I would give it a nine out of ten. There is always room for improvement, but it has been a terrific advance over what was previously available just having to build everything in EC2.

We are a customer and end-user. We use the cloud for integration purposes. 

I'm not completely into AWS Lambda just yet. What I can say, integration-wise, Lambda does not require any username or password from the Jira once they start talking to each other. It's integrated very well. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. 

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. It is a very new tool for me; I need to do some more research on it to really understand it fully.

RANJAN KUMAR - PeerSpot reviewer

Our company decided to use AWS Lambda because it is integrated with AWS services. The solution enables the building of serverless applications and provides automatic scaling and event-driven execution. AWS Lambda can be triggered by various AWS services like AWS S3, DynamoDB, AWS API gateway, and AWS CloudWatch.

I would recommend the solution to other users. It is easy for someone to learn to use Lambda for the first time.

Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.

If you are planning to implement the solution using scripting language like Node.js or Python, it's better to rather use traditional programming language like Java, or .NET, because Lambda runs faster and more efficiently. We implement it using these scripting languages as the first choice.  

It is important to understand your use case properly and if Lambda is a good fit. Solutions such as Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift or normal EC2 instances may be a better fit for your business.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten. It integrates well with variety of AWS services which makes the event-based programming easy. Lambda is well suited to a variety of use cases or applications.

Everybody should check out AWS Lambda. That's why I didn't explore much and it was at the top of my list. This is a fully managed model. The number one. This is for the future. In the future, many of the EC2 applications may be replaced by Lambda. If I started something from scratch, I would try to use Lambda. It's much simpler. It can simplify a lot. If you add the scalability into the picture, it could have 80% or 90% of the complexity. They are very important. All the servlets are very important from a cloud computing perspective.

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate AWS Lambda an eight.

I am a fan of the no-code, low-code if you consistently improve to make it even simpler. Maybe they could do something to simplify the language. I'm not sure if Lambda has the code for the Microsoft Logic App, which means they can eliminate most of the code and everything becomes drag and a drop. Because they eliminated those "if errors." They have those kinds of functions. I think mostly because I have not explored the whole portfolio of AWS. I believe there is a full suite of them.

I believe their full suite of the service is complemented with Lambda. But I do believe the competition is going to make it simple with low-code, no-code. There is no-code, low-code and also no infrastructure. That is going to be the key. Also, maybe you can have the Lambda ecosystem and have some component of the module built above the Lambda so that people can make graphing and plotting even easier. This is not just any software, you get the module there which is much better. But AWS is big enough to neutralize the ecosystem. I believe it will come but the people don't have the patience to start from scratch these days.

The solution doesn't require any maintenance if you are creating an instance on your own. In case of any issues with Lambda services, you can check with their AWS support team. Also, they have provided a support portal inside the dashboard. You can ask for their help. 

AWS Lambda is a good solution. If you are well versed with Linux, AWS will be more accessible. I rate the solution as an eight out of ten.

MW
Cloud DevOps engineer at DeepMetis

I'm using the latest version of AWS Lambda because when a framework or tool is deployed on a public cloud, it's always the newest version, and you don't get to choose the version.

I'd tell first-time users of AWS Lambda, or anyone looking into using the tool, that you can deploy every application within AWS Lambda, and it's very easy to set up and deploy. You can also use it with any application regardless of language because AWS Lambda supports many languages such as Go, Bison, Node, GS, and .NET. The tool is very code-agnostic, and not coded with programming languages, so you can still use Docker images to start your AWS Lambda function, for example.

My rating for AWS Lambda is nine out of ten because of how hard AWS worked on having good latency, security, and an intuitive start. The tool supports different languages and is stable, so I gave it a high rating.

I'm a customer of AWS Lambda.

I give the solution a seven out of ten.

One person with AWS knowledge is sufficient for deploying and maintaining the solution.

We currently have around 160 people using the solution.

All of the products we implement are in AWS so we do have plans to increase the usage of Lambda, Fargate, and all of the services in AWS to help speed up the implementations.

For anyone thinking about using the solution, you must make sure you have some experience in AWS or another cloud, maybe Azure, and have some experience with software development. If you don't have software development skills, maybe you have experience in deploying services on IIS or something like that.

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.

Don't try to move your applications just because of new technology and new concepts. Consider carefully your requirements and that will help you avoid some additional costs.
